The Antique Hunter's: Death on the Red Sea by C.L. Miller ~ Review & Blog Tour

Join Freya and Aunt Carole for more sleuthing in the highly anticipated 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, Freya Lockwood and her Aunt Carole, 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 and every one of them is also listed in Freya’s late mentor’s journals detailing 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 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?

I really enjoyed this read! Having read the first book of the series it was good to be back with Freya and Carole, it was good to see that neither of them had changed! Freya was still determined to follow in Arthur's footsteps no matter the risk. And Carole was still her outgoing self who wasn't going to blend into the crowd!! Carole had me laughing out loud again at times with some of the things that she came out with!

I loved that we saw some other characters from the previous book too; Phil and Bella who are very different characters but I really like both of them. I loved the storyline as it was very intriguing. I also loved how Arthur had left clues for Freya to find to help her work it all out but the fact that he doesn't leave obvious ones just makes it all the more interesting!

I loved the scenes onboard the ship, I love cruising so it was nice to read a book on board a ship, even though there was much more drama and murder than the cruises I've been on!! I was definitely confused as to who 'The Collector' was as at times I had most of the passengers and crew down as being them!

I think that the next book will be just as intriguing and exciting and I'm looking forward to seeing more from Sky with her hacking as I'm sure that will come in handy, although I dread to think what Carole will decide that she wants hacking into!
