Lucy St. Elmo heads for the greatest treasure hunt ever, “Brimfield”, the antiques marketplace to beat them all. Everything is right for a perfect day.
Lucy loves the wonderful business she has created, and she constantly strives to improve it. Her family still thinks St. Elmo Fine Antiques is a nice way for her to keep busy, and to earn a bit of extra income for special things — the occasional upgraded vacation — fun items — whatever.
But Lucy’s business is no longer an extension of her old hobby, collecting antiques. The business needs her attention. She’s willing, but she sometimes feels that she’s in over her head when balancing the needs of the family against the needs of the business.
And then, murder! One friend murdered; another accused of it. Add Lucy’s search for the murderer into the mix...and the pressure is on.
Mary Moody is a Massachusetts native who has lived all over the Commonwealth. She grew up in a collecting family where she learned the pleasure of the treasure hunt. She loves writing stories about the ingenious ways people find to participate in the antiques marketplace. She has an MBA from Clark University in Worcester, and lives with her husband in the Berkshires.
