Paralegal and title searcher Apple Mariani is accustomed to solving mysteries such as lingering liens and missing heirs. But when appraiser Lou Marshall is stabbed with an antique dagger at an estate sale, she finds herself plunged into the heart of a murder. For starters, she learns that the victim had entrusted her with a decades- old valentine minutes before he was killed. Then Apple's Aunt Tressa-- the victim's new squeeze-- is pegged as a prime suspect.
