When you own a vintage clothing store,
it pays to have a friend who specializes in liquidating estates. Charley knows she owes Calvin Prescott for
saving the rack of gorgeous items from the Mulbridge estate. When she goes to collect the clothing from
Calvin’s warehouse, she discovers her friend dead on the floor of his
office. Charley needs to figure out if
his death is related to the rumor that Augusta Mulbridge left a secret will
quickly or the bulldozers will raze the property and it won’t matter if there
is another will or not and Calvin’s death could be for naught.
Having not read the first of Nagel’s Oakwood
Mystery, The Book Club Murders, I found the second installment highly
entertaining. The plot moves along at a
steady pace and is filled with complex story lines that all come together to a
satisfying end. As you read you feel all
of the character’s triumphs and frustrations, frustrations that include the
handsome detective Marcus Trenault. I
certainly would have loved to attend the Mulbridge House estate sale.
I wish to thank the publishers for
their generosity in providing an Advanced Reader’s Copy from NetGalley for my
honest review.
