The Antique Lover series is a five-book cozy mystery collection published between 2001 and 2006. Each novel places its amateur detective in the middle of the antiques trade, where the hunt for valuable collectibles provides the backdrop for murder. Death is a Cabaret (2001) opens the series, and The Majolica Murders (2006) brings it to a close, with The Weedless Widow, The Marriage Casket, and Four on the Floor filling out the middle.
The titles play on antique terminology and collecting culture, giving each mystery its thematic hook. Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries built around a specific hobby or profession will find the antiques angle gives these books a distinctive flavor. The five-book run provides a satisfying series without overstaying its welcome.
