Reviews

Hot on the heels of an art forger, a member of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency disappears while investigating an isolated castle deep in Scottish countryside. Freya and Aunt Carole race to her last known location and arrive in the wintry, snow-covered Scottish Borders. At the castle, they discover that a murdered laird in the vegetable garden and his priceless collection of silverware has been stolen. Local police believe Freya’s missing team member was involved with the robbery and murder…but where is she now? As a snowstorm descends on the castle, Freya and Carole call in back-up to help uncover what happened that fateful night. As each question is met with more mystery, the clock is ticking to find their friend and the murderer before they are cut off from the outside world. Another delightfully gripping and endearing mystery, the Antique Hunter’s Series provides “great characters, great story, and you’re always eager for the next one” (Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants).

Synopsis

A treasure to die for?

In their most gripping case yet, Freya Lockwood and Aunt Carole are back in a race against time set in the haunting Scottish countryside. The heart-pounding and compelling third instalment in this cosy crime series, perfect for fans of the Antiques Roadshow, with the suspense and thrill of Knives Out.

A mission to recover stolen art turns dire when one of Freya and Aunt Carole’s team members, Bella, disappears into the shadows of the frozen, snow-tipped and mysterious Scottish hills. And when a discovery of ancient Scottish silverware is linked to the murder of a laird – with their colleague as the prime suspect – the intrigue deepens.

Surrounded by snow and secrecy, they must unravel a cunning plot and find their friend before isolation – or the killer – claims them all.

Where is Bella now, and is she safe?
