Synopsis

“Freya and Aunt Carole, everyone’s favorite antique-hunting, mystery-solving duo, return in a sequel that somehow manages to be even more captivating than their first adventure” (Tom Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author) as they are on the hunt for a dangerous criminal aboard a cruise ship.

When a painting vanishes from a maritime museum and a dead body is found nearby, Freya Lockwood and her Aunt Carole of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency are called to investigate.

Following a lead that takes them aboard a glamorous antiques cruise sailing toward the Red Sea in Jordan, they quickly discover that the ship’s art gallery is filled with stolen antiquities. Each antique is also listed in Freya’s late mentor’s journals that detail unsolved cases. In chasing a murderer with a stolen painting, they may have found something more sinister than they could’ve imagined…

Their hunt soon turns deadly when they learn the enigmatic and dangerous art trafficker named The Collector could be on board. But on a ship full of antiques enthusiasts—plus some unexpected familiar faces—will Freya and Carole be able to discover the Collector’s identity and stop his murderous plans before the ship docks? Or will the killer strike again?

“An intriguingly complex locked-cruise-ship mystery filled with wonderful characters, murdery twists, humor, and fascinating antiquities details, Miller’s The Antique Hunter’s Death on the Red Sea is a page-turning delight from start to finish” (Celeste Connally, author of Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord).

Goodreads review by Stephanie on April 04, 2025

More like a 3.5, but I'll round up. These books are really cute, but I have to implore the author to have a bit more memorable white guy side characters with seemingly interchangeable names. At the end I had to be like, "who was this again"? Mark, Tony, Chris, Luke...please. These men do not have en......more

3.75⭐️ My fave cozy mystery detective duo are at it again in this book! Freya and Carole are such a fun duo and I love their relationship/banter together. Just like the first book, I’m forever surprised that a mystery about antiques (something that doesn’t really interest me much) can be done so well......more

Slow first half. Second half was good. Then it ends rather abruptly and leaves so much to be desired.......more
