Readers who love a good family saga of loss and rejection will find their heart’s desire…worth the wait.

Freya Lockwood and her flamboyant Aunt Carole inherited Crockleford Antiques after Arthur Crockleford’s death. In addition to operating the shop, Freya has formed the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency to locate and return stolen antiques to their rightful owners. She’s thrilled when Betty Peters asks her to find a painting taken from the Lowestoft Maritime Museum, where an unidentified man was found murdered outside the museum. To continue their investigation, Freya and Carole board a specialty cruise ship to Jordan, with Freya working as one of the ship’s antiques experts. They soon learn that the Collector, a legendary antiques thief, is rumored to be on board. Working with an FBI agent and a thief with a conscience, they uncover a vast black market consortium and attempt to bring it down. The multiple points of view, fast pacing, well drawn characters and setting, plot twists, hidden clues, and antiques and antiquities frame combine for a satisfying mystery, after The Antique Hunter’s Guide to Murder (2024).

In the entertaining sequel to The Antique Hunter’s Guide to Murder, Miller once again explores the dark underbelly of the antiques trade.
