Publisher's summary

Missing Rolls Royces, Renaissance fair revelry - and murder: "A witty, literate and charming mystery" featuring Boston's married art sleuths (Publishers Weekly).

Sarah Kelling and her husband, Max Bittersohn, have made names for themselves tracking down stolen paintings, sculptures, and, when necessary, the occasional murderer. But this is the first time they have been asked to find a missing Rolls Royce. When Bill Billingsgate's prize 1927 New Phantom disappears, they head for his estate on the Massachusetts coast, arriving - to their horror - just in time for Billingsgate's annual Renaissance fair. Donning period dress, they grab pints of mead and start searching the crowd for the thief. Instead they find a corpse. When the local police bungle the investigation, Max and Sarah take it upon themselves to find the killer. In the course of their search, they confront a car thief, corruption at a radio station, and a horde of murderous bees. If this is the Renaissance, Max and Sarah can't wait to return to the present.

Wonderfully cozy mystery!

I discovered Charlotte MacLeod in College and have continued to enjoy her books ever since. Andi Arndt is an amazing narrator and brings the story to life!

Delightfully eccentric characters in a fun mystery

I love all these unique characters with their odd pastimes. And Charlotte MacLeod’s story telling always puts a smile on my face.

I think the narrator does a pretty good job.

Happy to have it in audio!

The Rolls is already a valuable antique in the time of the story which also includes Princess style corded phones, multiple radio stations, and phone booths. There's also a Renaissance gala on a family estate, the missing Rollers and the murder victims total two of each, a multiplicity of suspects and red herrings, and a disgraceful police chief making a mess only Max and a real cop can untangle. But Sarah is the one with the creative imagination that leads to the resolution. And it's great fun!
Andi Arndt is the very enjoyable narrator.
