’ Kindle Customer⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Well written, good characters and plots. I discovered Judith Cutler late last year and have been hooked on all her books and characters since.’ DerekMEET LINA TOWNENDLina Townend is not your average antique dealer.
Warm, clever, and endlessly curious, she has an uncanny ‘divvy’s nose’ for spotting treasures among the bric-a-brac, and a knack for sniffing out trouble where others see only clutter. Living and working alongside her eccentric mentor, Griff Tripp, Lina spends her days at bustling village fairs, in her cosy shop, and trawling auctions for hidden gems. Lina grew up in the care system, and beneath her confident exterior she’s still piecing together the puzzle of her own past — a search that makes every rare find feel just a little more personal.
THE SETTINGSleepy Bredeham might not be the prettiest of villages in rural Kent – though it boasts its share of thatched cottages and white-painted boarded houses – but it’s the kind of place where you can’t walk down the street without seeing someone you want to stop and chat with. Visitors will find not just a welcoming pub and a village shop, but also a chemist that doubles as a stationer and bookstore. And at the heart of it all sits the small, cluttered, yet inviting antique shop, packed with curios and treasures waiting to be discovered.
Bredeham is a village full of warmth, community, and familiar faces — but, as Lina knows all too well, even the cosiest corner of Kent hides its share of crime!
