A Killer Collection is the first in a new series of collectible mysteries by JB Stanley. Molly Appleby writes for a weekly newspaper for collectors. On assignment, she just happens to be present when a big-deal pottery buyer dies at a semi-annual kiln opening. Relying on her instinct, she senses something amiss.
As she interviews different potters for her paper, she learns (and we do, too) about how a clump of clay becomes a desired piece, highly collectible. She also comes across information that proves the obnoxious buyer didn’t die by accident or suicide.
A former owner of her own antique shop, her mother Clara, is now a partner in an antique auction house, freeing her up to roam around the countryside, attending the right events. She and Molly team up to solve the crime and the others that follow.
Stanley delightfully weaves, humor, personal interest and a collector’s knowledge all into a cozy mystery.
