Summary

A brilliant whodunnit mystery perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton and Richard Osman!

Murder stalks the cobbles in England’s finest Georgian town...

When an accident forces Felicia Grant back to her family’s auction house in Stamford, she vows it’ll only be a flying visit. But as the gavel falls on the final lot, a hidden secret is revealed—the body of her father’s business rival, murdered during the packed sale!

Soon, Felicia is swept into a mystery that has everyone in the community as a potential suspect―including her.

As the body count rises and with the people she loves under threat, Felicia takes matters into her own hands. But even the most picturesque place has its secrets...

Really good enjoyable gentle Murder Mystery

Really enjoyed listening/ reading this, plenty of good characters brought to life in this Auction room mystery. First the of a series and a great start. Likeable dour Yorkshire Sergeant Pettifer and Felicia Grant eventually get to the bottom of this cosy murder mystery with help from her family and friends Recommend this, great listen by great narrator.

Intriguing start to a new series

Very enjoyable book . Great characters with lots of potential .
Overall the plot was quite convoluted…..but satisfying eventually.
One character did seem to suddenly disappear…maybe further to come .
Looking forward to the next book .
