Life is sweet for Molly Doyle. Treasures Antiques, the Carmel shop she manages, is doing well. Her niece, Emma, continues to enrich her life, and her personal relationship with Randall, the chief of police, has reached an interesting plateau. Eager to branch out into interior decorations, Molly takes on a lucrative commission to refurbish the wine tasting rooms at Bello Lago, a prestigious family-owned winery in Carmel Valley. But Molly soon finds herself in the middle of the dysfunctional family’s squabbles when they end in murder - and she’s a prime suspect! Even worse, Emma’s future is at stake when a stranger walks into Treasures and…
Okay - I’m teasing you. But I don’t want to give EVERYTHING away!
SO INSTEAD - HERE’S WHAT TWO OF MOLLY’S FRIENDS HAD TO SAY:
“You don’t need to know anything about antiques to recognize when you’ve found a genuine treasure. Elaine Flinn’s Molly Doyle series gives the reader that same warm glow. Witty and skillfully plotted, DEADLY VINTAGE has a cast of characters you can believe in. Look no further for the perfect traditional mystery.” STEVEN BOOTH - Barry and CWA Dagger award-winning author of THE DEAD PLACE.
“Barry Award-winner Elaine Flinn is at the top of her game. DEADLY VINTAGE is champagne and caviar, the best yet in the intriguing and delightful Molly Doyle series. Flinn’s story telling will pop your cork!” JULIA SPENCER-FLEMING - Agatha, Anthony, Barry and Macavity award winning author of ALL MORTAL FLESH.
SO - COME SEPTEMBER 15TH - LOOK FOR DEADLY VINTAGE!

Like everyone else here (I’d be willing to bet), I have a Manuscript In a Drawer.You know the one I’m talking about. The orphaned child that Cannot Be Published, because it’s too flawed or too violent, too personal or too counter to the market decrees of the moment. It shames you, and yet it calls to you. It is useless because no one else wants it, and yet you have a love for it that will not die.In my case, the MIaD is 140 pages of a standalone thriller that has never found a reader who didn’t prove to be indifferent to it. My agent didn’t get it; my former editor passed on it without breaking a sweat; and the two or three other people to whom I’ve shown it over the years have all responded to it with a collective shrug.It’s gotta suck, right?Well… Continue reading this post…
