The Josie Prescott Antiques Mysteries follow an appraiser and dealer whose knowledge of valuable objects keeps landing her in the middle of criminal investigations. Jane K. Cleland sets the series in coastal New Hampshire, where Josie runs an antiques business and finds that the trade in rare and beautiful things attracts both collectors and killers.
Fourteen novels published between 2006 and 2021 take Josie from her first case in Consigned to Death through encounters with deadly threads, blood rubies, and lost literary manuscripts. Cleland’s background in antiques adds authentic detail to each book, making the objects central to both the plot and the atmosphere.
