Valentine Murder (2011)
“. .
Lucy checked her watch when she left Hayden and Ralph and discovered she had at least an hour before she had to be home. She decided she might as well stop in at the Treasure Trove and see if they had any pewter.
The Tinker’s Cove Treasure Trove, originally a gift shop built in the shape of a pirate’s chest, had seen better days. It was located on Route 1A, the old state highway which used to be the major road to the coast. When the superhighway was built, however, tourists no longer had to spend hours creeping along on the old two-lane road and business declined. Once freshly painted every spring, the Treasure Trove’s dark brown siding was now faded and peeling, and owner Frank Ford supplemented his shrinking stock of new items with so-called antiques and collectables sold on commission. When the yard sale was over, the Treasure Trove was only too happy to accept the leftovers.
When Lucy turned into the parking lot she didn’t have any difficulty finding a space, even though only ...a small area had been plowed.MoreLess
