Welcome to Palmetto Key, a Georgia barrier island where the ferry keeps its own schedule, the marsh keeps its own counsel, and the antiques hold secrets worth killing for. When museum curator Wren Holloway inherits Holloway Antiques from the grandmother she never knew, she plans to liquidate the estate and leave. Instead she finds a body in the back room, a coded ledger hidden in the wall, and thirty years of her grandmother’s quiet war against a forgery ring. Armed with a jeweller’s loupe, a trained eye for fakes, and Barnaby the bloodhound, Wren builds a new life one case at a time, from counterfeit porcelain and lying treasure maps to a poisoned matriarch and a painting that should have burned. Add a slow-burn romance with steady lawman Cal Renner and a community worth defending, and you have the Holloway Antiques Mysteries: warm, wry, fair-play whodunits with no gore and no cliffhangers. Perfect for readers who love Ellery Adams, Jenn McKinlay, and Louise Penny.
