Dark and Stormy Day

It was a very rainy Sunday and an ideal day for finishing my cozy mystery - "Killer Keepsakes" by Jane K. Cleland. I like the fact that the heroine really uses her education in antiques and appraisals to help solve the crime her employee and friend is suspected of committing.
Josie Prescott's receptionist, Gretchen, is due back from her vacation but when she doesn't show up and can't be reached by phone, Josie goes to her apartment and discovers a dead body! She quickly comes to realize that she doesn't know very much about Gretchen. She tells the police that she might be able to use the man's unusual belt buckle to help figure out who he is. This leads to other clues until finally the mystery is solved. Who is Gretchen? Did she do the dastarly deed? Read the book to find out.
