The Body in the Bookcase (Large print, Paperback, Large type / large print edition)

Katherine Hall Page has delighted readers with her mysteries featuring the indomitable Faith Fairchild, professional caterer and amateur detective in quaint Aleford, Massachusetts.

This time out, the crime occurs in Faith's own home. She becomes the latest victim in a rash of neighborhood burglaries when thieves break in and clear out all her jewelry and silver. Faith sets out to find her precious belongings by figuring out how the break-ins are linked, plunging headlong into the complicated maze of New England's lucrative antiques business. Before long, she finds herself in the middle of a ring of scheming dealers who prefer theft to auctions and who aren't averse to murder if the price is right.

The Body in the Bookcase boasts a popular, plucky heroine, deft plotting, and witty, suspenseful prose.
