Larceny and Old Lace by Tamar Myers

This book is definitely of its time and did not age well. The characters feel like caricatures and I didn't connect with ay of them, I clouding thr first person author. 
Abigail Timberlake is running an antiquities store after her husband divorced her. She's living for free in her aunt's home and blatantly disrespecting the rules set put for her (they're a little onerous but not so bad that she should be biting the hand that feeds her.) The board she's on for the area where she has her shop is up in arms about another shop in town... Abigails's aunt. So, when said aunt is murdered, it could have been any one of a number of people.

Two and a half stars
Den of Antiquity #1
