A Cup Of Tea and A Cozy Mystery: Key To A Murder An Antique Hunters Mystery By Vicki Vass

Monday, October 3, 2016

The last book I read in September was Vicki Vass' Key To A Murder. This was book 4 of her Antique Hunters Mystery series and I am thrilled to share my review with you today. This series is a favorite of mine and it centers around two best friends who are in their 40's, who have a blog, a booming antique business and a whole lot of trouble staying out of precarious situations. What I love most about this series is the connections that each character makes, that you truly feel involved and connected to not only the story but the characters and the finds they make. Their highs and lows, good fortune and catastrophe truly feel like your own. I felt swept up in the emotions of the characters and like I had just spent time with old friends in the end. Great mystery, adventure and fun antique treasure hunting in this story and series.

A mysterious woman appears on the doorstep of Great Aunt Sybil’s Attic in the middle of the night. Owner Anne Hillstrom lets her in, only to have the woman die in her arms. With no final words, and only an old lantern clutched to her chest, the dead woman provides Anne and her partner CC precious few clues to discover her murderer or why she spent her last moments in their antique store. The two Antique Hunters search for clues, finding themselves entangled in a centuries-old mystery leading them to a cemetery in Ireland where a ghost from the past has left them a cryptic message, and a killer has left them no choice but to discover his identity before he kills again. On their journey, the two best friends encounter antiques, romance and the key to a murder. Key to a Murder is the fourth book in the Antique Hunters Mystery series.

Even my wonderful cat and reading partner Squirrel gets excited when I sit down to read the Antique Hunters Mystery series, she knows from page one the the end she has a comfy spot to curl up and I wont move! I could not put it down!
