In the quaint New England town of Rocky Point, New
Hampshire lives the highly successful antiques dealer Josie
Prescott. Known for her keen eye, Prescott's Antiques was
built on her stellar reputation for being honest and
trustworthy. Always on the look-out for the next best
thing, she has now expanded her business to include a small
boutique simply called Prescott's Vintage Fashions.
As part of the new venture, Josie decides to offer classes
to the public about the ins and outs of vintage clothing
and accessories. In order to add some pizzazz to her
program, she invites renowned collector Riley Jordan as a
guest lecturer. Married to a local celebrity chef, Riley's
charm as well as her status will surely attract the crowds.
Not to mention, Josie's friendship with the woman makes her
appearance an extra special event for the business.
As the class gets underway, Josie is surprised to learn
that her friend is nowhere to be found. While searching
for a pair of heels to use in her presentation, Josie peers
under a table only to discover Riley's dead body
underneath. Flabbergasted by the discovery, Josie gathers
all of her strength to calmly announce to the class the
gruesome news. What started out as merely a prudent
business venture quickly turns into Josie's undeniably
deadly disaster.

filled with quirky yet lovable characters, and just the

Josie Prescott has begun hosting classes at her antiques
and appraisals shop, nestled in the cozy little coastal
town of Rocky Point, New Hampshire. The next class is on
building a great vintage clothing collection. But when
guest lecturer Riley Jordan is late, Josie begins class by
reaching under a display table for a dazzling pair of
Chanel heels. But instead of the heels, she finds Riley,
dead. When it looks as if one of Josie's employees may be
involved in the murder, she teams up with the local police
chief to investigate, one clue, and one fabulous vintage
accessory, at a time.
