Review Quotes

"Murder at the Estate Sale is erudite, suspenseful and simmering with sexual tension. Antiquarian booksellers Molly O'Donnell and Emma Clarke are lovable and believable sleuths. The book is an introduction to a fascinating world and a rip-roaring good time to read! I can't wait to see what Molly and Emma get into next."

-Kate Jessica Raphael, author of Murder Under the Fig Tree and Murder Under the Bridge

When I opened Murder at the Estate Sale, I expected to enter a familiar world of antiquarian booksellers, rare book fairs and estate sales, with a few dead bodies littering the bookshelves. That I did, but I also found a history of occult literature and a group of characters that make me wonder what my bookselling colleagues might be doing in the basement! There's a twist around every corner and a nice love story developing as well.

"Lily Charles' Murder at the Estate Sale combines the bookish passion of A.S. Byatt's Possession, the occult history of Deborah Harkness' A Discovery of Witches, and the cozy mystery of Ellen Hart. Readers will love this peek behind the curtain of the rare book world and will cheer for the friendship and budding romance between likable amateur sleuths, Molly and Emma."
