Tamar Myers Books Overview

The Witch Doctor’s Wife

From beloved mystery writer Tamar Myers comes an enthralling tale of duty, greed, danger, and miracles in equatorial Africa.

The Congo beckons to young Amanda Brown in 1958, as she follows her missionary calling to the mysterious ‘dark continent’ far from her South Carolina home. But her enthusiasm cannot cushion her from the shock of a very foreign culture-where competing missionaries are as plentiful as flies, and oppressive European overlords are busy stripping the land of its most valuable resource: diamonds.

Little by little, Amanda is drawn into the lives of the villagers in tiny Belle Vue-and she is touched by the plight of the local witch doctor, a man known as Their Death, who has been forced to take a second job as a yardman to support his two wives. But when First Wife stumbles upon an impossibly enormous uncut gem, events are set in motion that threaten to devastate the lives of these people Amanda has come to admire and love-events that could lead to nothing less than murder.

The Headhunter’s Daughter

From Tamar Myers, author of The Witch Doctor’s Wife, comes a spellbinding tale of equatorial Africa and a child torn dangerously between two worlds. In 1945, an infant left inadvertently to die in the jungles of the Belgian Congo is discovered by a young Bashilele tribesman on a mission to claim the head of an enemy. Recognized as human despite her pale white skin and strange blue eyes the baby is brought into the tribe and raised as its own. Thirteen years later, the girl now called ‘Ugly Eyes’ will find herself at the center of a controversy that will rock two separate societies. Young missionary Amanda Brown hears the incredible stories of a white girl living among the Bashilele headhunters. In the company of the local police chief, Captain Pierre Jardin, and with the witch doctor’s wife, the quick witted Cripple, along as translator, Amanda heads into the wild hoping to bring the lost girl back to ‘civilization.’ But Ugly Eyes no longer belongs in their world and the secrets surrounding her birth and disappearance are placing them all in far graver peril than anyone ever imagined.

In a Treasure Laden Mansion

Her expertise makes Abby invaluable to exceptionally handsome Tradd Maxwell Burton, wealthy scion of the renowned Latham family.

All Abby can say is ‘let the games begin.’

It’s Tough to Keep Help

Suddenly all eyes are on C.J., whose fingerprints happen to be all over the murder weapon. it’s up to Abby to use her knack for detecting forgeries to expose the fake alibi of the genuine killer.

Hopefully, she’ll make her money back on the beautiful gold antique frame. Little does she expect she’s bought herself a fortune…
and a lot of trouble. A masterpiece to kill for When her ex boyfriend shows up and offers ten bucks for the ugly Starry Night, Abby pops the frame and is stunned to discover hidden behind the faux Van Gogh canvas a multi million dollar lost art treasure. Suddenly she’s a popular lady in her old hometown, and her first visit is from Gilbert Sweeney, her schoolyard sweetheart according to him, who claims the family’s painting was donated by mistake. But social calls quickly turn from nice to nasty as it’s revealed that the mysterious masterpiece conceals a dark and deadly past and some modern day misconduct that threatens to rock the Rock Hill social structure to its core. Someone apparently thinks the art is worth killing for, and Abby knows she better get to the bottom of the secret scandal and multiple murders before she ends up buried six feet under a starry night.

A Penny Urned

Pickled…
Then Potted All that remains of Lula Mae Wiggins who drowned in a bathtub of cheap champagne on New Year’s Eve now sits in an alleged Etruscan urn in Savannah, Georgia. Further north, at the Den of Antiquity antique shop in Charlotte, North Carolina, plucky proprietor Abigail Timberlake is astonished to learn that she is the sole inheitor of the Wiggins estate. Late Aunt Lula Mae was, after all, as distant a relative as kin can get. Arriving in picturesque Savannah, Abby makes a couple of startling discoveries. First, that Lula Mae’s final resting pot is more American cheap than Italian antique. And second, that there was a very valuable 1793 one cent piece taped to the inside lid. Perhaps a coin collection worth millions is hidden among the deceased’s worldly possessions making Lula’s passoing more suspicious than orginally surmised. With the strange appearance of a voodoo preistess coupled with the disturbing disappearance of a loved one and with nasty family skeletons tumbling from the trees like acorns Abby needs to find her penny auntie’s killer p.d.q…
or she’ll be up to her ashes in serious trouble!

Nightmare in Shining Armor

But not long after the conflagration is brought under control, the former Mrs. T. discovers an unfamiliar suit of armor in her house. And stuffed inside is the heavily siliconed, no longer living body of the current Mrs. T. Certainly some enraged collector of medieval chain mail has sent Abby this deadly delivery. But diving into their eccentric ranks could prove a lethal proposition for the plucky antiques dealer/amateur sleuth. And even a metal suit may not be enough to protect Abby from the vicious and vindictive attentions of a crazed killer.

Splendor in the Glass

Antiques dealer Abby Timberlake Washburn is thrilled when the Mrs. Amelia Shadbark doyenne of Charleston society invites her to broker a pricey collection of Lalique glass sculpture. These treasures will certainly boost business at the Den of Antiquity, and maybe hoist Abby into the upper crust which would please her class conscious mom, Mozella, no end. Alas, Abby’s fragile dream is soon shattered when Mrs. Shadbark meets a foul, untimely end. And as the last known visitor to the victim’s palatial abode, Abby’s being pegged by the local law as suspect Numero Uno. Of course there are other possible killers including several dysfunctional offspring and a handyman who may have been doing more for the late Mrs. S than fixing her leaky faucets. But Abby’s the one who’ll have to piece the shards of this deadly puzzle together or else face a fate far worse than a mere seven years of bad luck!

Tiles and Tribulations

Abigail Timberlake Washburn would rather be anywhere else on a muggy Charleston summer evening even putting in extra hours at her antiques shop than at a’s ance. But her best friend, ‘Calamity Jane,’ thinks a spirit or ‘Apparition American,’ as ectoplasmically correct Abby puts it lurks in the eighteenth century Georgian mansion, complete with priceless, seventeenth century Portuguese kitchen tiles, that C.J. just bought as a fixer upper. Luckily, Abby’s mama located a psychic in the yellow pages a certain Madame Woo Woo and, together with a motley group of feisty retirees known as the ‘Heavenly Hustlers,’ they all get down to give an unwanted spook the heave ho. But, for all her extrasensory abilities, the Madame didn’t foresee that she, herself, would be forced over to the other side prematurely. Suddenly Abby fears there’s more than a specter haunting C.J. And they d better exorcise a flesh and blood killer fast before the recently departed Woo Woo gets company.

Statue of Limitations

Abigail Timberlake Washburn, petite but feisty proprietor of Charleston’s Den of Antiquity antiques shop, stopped speaking to best friend and temporary decorating partner Wynnell Crawford a month ago after questioning her choice of a cheap, three foot high replica of Michaelangelo’s David to adorn the garden of a local bed and breakfast. But now Wynnell has broken the silence with one phone call…
from prison! It seems the b&b owner has been fatally beaned allegedly by the same tacky statue and Wynnell’s been fingered by the cops for the bashing. But Abby suspects there’s more to this well sculpted slaying than initially meets the eye, and she wants to take a closer look at the not so bereaved widower and the two very odd couples presently guesting at the hostelry. Because if bad taste was a capital crime, Wynnell would be guilty as sin but she’s certainly no killer!

Monet Talks

Charleston antiques dealer Abigail Timberlake Washburn is thrilled by her recent estate auction purchase of a spectacular bejeweled birdcage from India, but not so much by its occupant, a mouthy mynah named Monet. Still, her customers at the Den of Antiquity seem charmed by the insufferable birdbrain, so Abby figures she’s stuck with him. That is, until she finds a stuffed starling resting on his usual perch with a ransom note demanding a real Monet the painted variety in exchange for her purloined pet. Since she doesn’t happen to have a priceless masterpiece on hand and since a mynahless existence isn’t all that distasteful a prospect Abby figures she’ll let the thief keep the annoying avian. But when her mama Mozella is abducted by the craven birdnapper, Abby must leap into the fray to rescue mater and mynah alike…
before the feathers really start to fly!

The Cane Mutiny

Raising Cane Abigail Timberlake Washburn understands the antiques game is a gamble so she doesn’t know what to expect when she wins the bidding for the contents of an old locker that has been sealed up for years. It’s a delightful surprise when she discovers inside a collection of exquisite old walking sticks and a not so delightful one when she pulls out a decrepit gym bag containing…
a human skull! The last thing the diminutive South Carolina antiques dealer needs is to be suspected of foul play. So she grabs her chatty assistant and future sister in law, C.J., and heads out to search for a killer they can stick it to. But this cane case will be no walk in the park with its arcane clues hinting at poaching, counterfeiting, smuggling…
and homicide, of course. And when a fresh corpse turns up, things are about to get really sticky for Abby and her staff of one.

Death of a Rug Lord

Business isn’t booming for antiques dealer Abigail Timberlake Washburn. A local rug store is luring away her customers with its rock bottom prices. Eager to check out the competition, Abby is delighted to find a priceless Persian amid the cut rate carpets and shocked when Gwendolyn Spears, the store’s beleaguered owner, begs her to take it home! Abby feels more than a little guilty about getting such a great deal…
especially when Gwendolyn is found dead the next morning.

Investigating the brutal murder, Abby soon discovers that the prized Orientals of Charleston’s society dames are nothing more than cheap fakes…
and that a dangerous thief will do anything to pull the rug out from under her.

Poison Ivory

All antiques dealer Abigail Timberlake Washburn wanted was to find a perfect gift for her darling if not altogether together mama Mozella’s birthday. She never expected her online purchase of an exquisite, seventeenth century rosewood linen chest to place her in federal custody, accused of trafficking in illegal ivory! Then insult is heaped on her injury when she’s forced to turn to her lawyer snake ex, Buford, to spring her since ex cop /current hubby Greg’s good ol’ boy contacts don’t happen to include any feds. Abby may be small in stature, but she’s a force to be reckoned with when riled and she’s determined to root out the real smugglers who she blames for her recent indignities.

until Aunt Jerry turns up truly dead in the deep freeze with a priceless emerald ring missing from her lifeless finger. And wouldn’t you know, Abby’s the prime suspect!

Spunky Ms. Timberlake’s not about to let herself be railroaded into prison. And neither are her loyal family and friends, including dear, ditzy mother Mozella, ex-sister-in-law C.J., and best female friend, Wynnell.
