THE END OF THE LINE by Charles Mathes Being dealers, Molly and Nell would probably like you to find out more about Antiques . You might also look into New York in general, and Theatre and Where to Eat in Chinatown in particular.
Mathes is one cozy mystery writer who manages to break all the rules.
He doesn't write about a series character, he doesn't produce a book a year and his novels are set wherever his plots take them. Molly runs an antiques store in a small North Carolina town, and Nell, who stopped speaking at age 8 when she witnessed her mother's murder, helps her. Their lives are anything but exciting and they have few friends in the small town, but they manage to get by, if only just barely. All that changes when their equally impoverished grandmother dies and quite unexpectedly leaves Molly a valuable emerald ring. By chance, the sisters also find that the taciturn old woman had been a Broadway actress in her youth, and that intrigues Molly even more than the bequest of the ring.
