An Antique Murder!

 

Dead Men Don’t Decorate (Old Town Antiques Mystery #1)Dead Men Don’t Decorate by Cordy Abbott
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Roberto Fratelli, owner of the antiques store Waited4You, is the meanest man in Marthasville, Virginia. When he puts the business up for sale, the other merchants in town are overjoyed. Local resident Camille Benson, has decided to buy him out. During a celebration in honor of Camille’s new venture, Camille and her best friend Opal find Roberto’s lifeless body on the floor. Can she solve the murder before there’s another dead body?
This was a very good cozy mystery with a wonderful protagonist. I like Camille because she’s older and starting part of her life over again. The side characters seem likeable and wacky in a good way. I felt there was an awkwardness to the story, like the writing needed a little more editing. Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this advanced reader’s copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
