What to expect

A treasure to die for?

Join Freya and Aunt Carole for more sleuthing in the second instalment in your new favourite crime series, The Antique Hunters. The Antique Hunter's: Death on the Red Sea is a cosy crime read for fans of the Antiques Roadshow.

When a painting vanishes from a maritime museum – and a dead body is found nearby – the newly established 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. 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 that 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?

Critics Review

The perfect modern cosy. Great characters, great story and you're always eager for the next one.
Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants
CL Miller does it again - clever, twisty, and enormously fun, The Antique Hunter’s Death on the Red Sea is the perfect second adventure for antique hunter Freya and her glamorous Aunt Carole. Expertly laid breadcrumbs take the reader on a deep-dive into the world of black market antiques, with the perfect balance of action, international antique-hunting flair, and of course Aunt Carole’s signature wit.
Kristen Perrin, author of How to Solve Your Own Murder
The Antique Hunter's Death on the Red Sea is such a joy – jam-packed with secrets, suspense and characters who simply leap off the page. I was utterly swept up in the world of antiques and art theft, reveling in the peril on the high seas, rooting for Freya Lockwood and the iconic Aunt Carole on every page! Congratulations to C.L. Miller for a magnificent instalment in the Antique Hunters series – and roll on Book 3!
Alex Hay, author of The Housekeepers
Freya and Aunt Carole, everyone’s favourite antique-hunting, mystery-solving duo, return in a sequel that somehow manages to be even more captivating than their first adventure. Rich with enigmatic artifacts and antiquities, full of intriguing characters with secrets to spare, and sparkling with all the charm of the classics of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, Antique Hunter’s Death on the Red Sea is a delightful, page-turning caper that invites readers to lose themselves in the twists and turns of this memorable voyage.

Catherine Mack, author of Every Time I Go On Vacation, Someone Dies
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. I enjoyed it every bit as much as I thought I would!
Celeste Connally, author of Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Lord
