| Publisher Description: Crime-solving antiques dealer Josie Prescott is back--tracking down a doll collection to die for. On a sparkling spring day in the cozy coastal town of Rocky Point, New Hampshire, with the lilacs in full bloom and the wisteria hanging low, antiques dealer Josie Prescott is showing a stellar doll collection she's just acquired to Alice Michaels, the queen of the local investment community. Moments later, Josie watches in horror as Alice is shot and killed. Within hours, one of Josie's employees, Eric, is kidnapped. The kidnapper's ransom demand is simple--he wants the doll collection. Working against the clock with the local police chief, Josie discovers that the dolls hold secrets that will save Eric and uncover the truth behind Alice's murder. With Dolled Up for Murder, Jane K. Cleland's Josie Prescott Anitques Mystery Series continues to offer clever mysteries studded with enough information on antiques to keep collectors coming back for more. --Publishers Weekly |
