Dolled Up for Murder, the seventh entry in the Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery series, begins on a sparkling-bright May day in the cozy coastal town of Rocky Point, New Hampshire, with the lilacs in full bloom and the wisteria hanging low.
Antiques dealer Josie Prescott is showing Alice Michaels, the queen of the local investment community, the stellar European and American doll collection she’d just acquired. Moments later, Josie watches in horror as Alice, who’s about to be indicted for running a mega swindle, is shot and killed. Within hours, one of Josie’s employees, Eric, is kidnapped, van-jacked. The kidnapper’s ransom demand is simple—he wants the doll collection. Working with the local police chief and against the clock, Josie discovers that the dolls hold secrets from the Civil War. Desperate to save Eric, Josie puts herself in harm’s way, and in the process discovers the truth behind Alice’s murder.

In Silent Auction, the autumn foliage is in full fiery glory on a beautiful day in the little coastal town of Rocky Point, New Hampshire. Josie Prescott arrives at the town's renovated lighthouse to conduct an antiques appraisal and is horrified to discover the bludgeoned body of her neighbor Zoë's beloved nephew, Frankie. The owners of the lighthouse are avid antiques collectors, and Josie soon begins to suspect that a scrimshaw tooth from their collection may be the key to solving the crime that has shaken Rocky Point, and broken her dear friend's heart.
