| 1 | A Vase of Mistaken Identity | 2006 | Cathy Elliott | Buy |
A Vase of Mistaken Identity (2006) introduces Thea James, an antique appraiser whose eye for detail and knowledge of old objects pulls her into a mystery. The book was published by Kregel Publications, a publisher that specializes in Christian and inspirational titles, and it fits the cozy mystery formula: a small-town setting, an amateur sleuth, and a crime to solve without graphic violence.
The book is currently the only entry in the Thea James Mystery series. Elliott went on to write for the multi-author Annie’s Attic Mysteries series, which shares a similar cozy mystery tone and also features antiques and hidden objects as central story elements.
