    The Lina Townend Mysteries Series

    By Judith Cutler

    About this series

    A church party turns deadly for antiques dealer Lina Townend when she thwarts a thief in this British mystery.
     
    Helping out at a church fête is about the last thing Lina Townend wants to do on a beautiful summer’s afternoon. But since the vicar is an old friend, Lina finds herself agreeing to sell a bunch of bric-a-brac.
     
    Nothing too exciting happens at the harmless event—until someone tries to steal a tatty old snuffbox. While the piece doesn’t look like much, it seems the box is valuable enough for the would-be thief to attack Lina’s business partner Griff, frame Lina for a crime—and kill an old friend.
     
    Lina never imagined a little old snuffbox could cause so much trouble. Now, she has to clear her name by catching the real culprit, before anyone else gets snuffed out.

      In this charming British mystery, antiques dealer Lina Townend must contend with a prankster that takes things dangerously too far.   Things in Lina Townend’s life could be better. Her love life is in a holding pattern and her business is faltering now that a new antiques center with very reduced prices—and less attention to detail—has opened up nearby.   Lina doesn’t quite know what to do about her own problems, but when a local theater director asks her business partner Griff to star in her latest production, she encourages him to do it. At least one of them will get their minds off their troubles.   But things quickly turn sour at the theater when a series of pranks played on the “Curtain Call” cast turn nasty. Now, Lina is determined to figure out what’s really going on—before someone ends up breaking way more than a leg . . .
