✦ Synopsis

“A very funny series.”
— Green Bay Press-Gazette

After sixteen delightfully madcap books, Tamar Myers’s hilarious Den of Antiquity cozy mystery series comes to a close with The Glass is Always Greener. A real death at a fake wake gets Charleston, South Carolina antiques dealer Abigail Timberlake Washburn into serious hot water in this masterful cozy farewell from the author of The Witchdoctor’s Wife , The Headhunter’s Daughter , and the Magdelena Yoder mysteries. Collectables connoisseurs and Antiques Roadshow nuts won’t want to miss a single minute of Abby’s amateur sleuthing.

From the Back Cover

Memorials are murder!

All antiques and no play make Abby a dull girl. So Abigail Timberlake Washburn takes a hiatus from her Charleston shop and accompanies best male friend, Rob, to the "wake" of his loco Aunt Jerry—who, as it happens, is nowhere near deceased, but will be soon according to her trusted psychic. Watching the crazy, caustic old gal gleefully disowning assembled relatives left and right is a hoot and a half . . . until Aunt Jerry turns up truly dead in the deep freeze with a priceless emerald ring missing from her lifeless finger. And wouldn't you know, Abby's the prime suspect!

Spunky Ms. Timberlake's not about to let herself be railroaded into prison. And neither are her loyal family and friends, including dear, ditzy mother Mozella, ex-sister-in-law C.J., and best female friend, Wynnell. But they may be more hindrance than help in Abby's desperate hunt for a lost stone and a stone-cold killer among an increasingly vicious family circle.
