Freya Lockwood, C.L. Miller’s heroine in The Antique Hunter’s Guide to Murder, has avoided the quaint English village in which she grew up until news arrives that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and Freya’s estranged mentor, has died in suspicious circumstances. Freya joins forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Arthur’s best friend, and follows clues to an old manor house for an ‘antiques enthusiasts’ weekend’ where all is not is all as it seems.
Can Freya and Carole solve the mystery surrounding the weekend before a killer strikes again?
This book was written in consultation with international antiques expert Judith Miller (1951–2023), a regular specialist on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow.

The police are convinced Paul is the culprit. After all, he’s good with a blade, and was first on the scene to prove his innocence. He must find the killer. Could it be one of his students? Or the owner of the school – a woman with secrets and a murky past?
