Book 3 of 9: Antiques & Collectibles Mysteries

See all formats and editions

In the world of antiques and collectibles, it helps to have a sharp eye for quality, a good ear for gossip, and a nose for murder.

Molly Appleby’s career as a reporter for Collector’s Weekly is finally taking off, as is her relationship with coworker Matt Harrison. But the more time she spends covering Southern antiques and collectibles, the more times she finds herself face-to-face with a new mystery. And when she’s sent to Nashville to cover the famous Heart of Dixie auction, where all the major players in the world of collectibles gather, her hopes of steering clear of foul play are quickly dashed when a renowned and well-respected dealer is found murdered.

Sifting through the clues among the aristocracy of antiques is no easy task, and Molly soon discovers the world of high-end dealers is filled with bitter rivalries, shady tactics, and questionable characters. And when one of them makes an attempt on Molly’s life, she realizes time is running out, and as she tries to unlock a mystery shrouded in old secrets and new cover-ups, she just might find that what looks like a priceless antique is the key to a very modern murder.

“Great characters that you would love to tag along with and a story that keeps moving. I couldn’t put it down!” —Goodreads

This is a fully revised edition of a book originally published under the name J. B. Stanley.

Fun book.

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2023

I love learning about antiques from these books. It's fun to learn stuff as you try to figure out a murder too. I really don't care for Molly's personality. Always trying to one up the police so she can be on page one of the newspaper. A little too self absorbed. It really doesn't take away from the story and she always does solve it but doesn't get credit for it.

Good story - character development

Good story - character development, held my interest, etc. BUT as a retired legal secretary, I was driven to distraction by the "typos"/poor proofreading. Otherwise it would have been a 4Star.

Interesting historical facts about the specific antique furniture featured in the mystery. Well developed characters. An easy read.
I read on an exercise machine so the plot can't be too complicated.

Review of A Deadly Dealer

I enjoyed the mystery that addresses a favorite interest...collecting antiques. Another attraction was the vivid description of the Opryland Hotel, which I would love to visit.
Lastly, the locations described are familiar to me since I am a native Tarheel. Thank you for a very enjoyable story.

The series keeps getting better!

The third book to the Antiques and Collectibles series is a great addition. Molly and Matt are moving forward with their relationship. Molly and her mom are still enjoying their time together around the antiques and collectibles.

I enjoy how Ellery Adams keeps you guessing until the killer is revealed. I did not guess who it was and thought to myself, "Wow, how did I miss that?"

Now on to the next one in the series.
