Molly & Emma Booksellers Series

When book dealers Molly O’Donnell and Emma Clarke meet at an estate sale, they are both there for the books. But Emma ventures past a “No Admittance” sign into the basement and finds, not only a vast occult library, but also the dead body of a notorious book thief. She calls Molly, who spots a warning note in Elizabethan script next to the body. Cautious Emma follows Molly’s adventurous lead as they search for the missing book to which the note belongs, which Molly thinks must be a book of spells—a grimoire.

When they find an underground tunnel leading to a room set up for black magic, they suspect that the murdered man may have discovered something that led to his death. Is the magic circle behind his death? Or could it be one of the booksellers, each of whom has good reason to be angry at the book thief? Murder at the Estate Sale is a bibliomystery that introduces a pair of amateur sleuths, booksellers who mix their search for vintage books with a penchant for investigating murders.
