Deadly Silent Auction
Complexity: 7
The Mavens visit a silent auction at Aubertin’s Antiques, a place of common rarities and odd finds alike. It is owned and run by the eccentric twins Pierre and Pauline Aubertin, who share an apartment right above the store. The auction involves items from the estate of the late Captain Solomon Heimwinkel, a Brindlewood Bay native, who spent his last years as a recluse. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Brindlewood Bay Whaling Museum and Education Center, as decreed in the captain’s will. Begin the mystery with the Mavens entering the antique store.
Throng of Vice and Liars
Complexity: 7
The Mavens’ own headquarters, The Candlelight Booksellers, is playing host to a rare public appearance by renowned and reclusive author Herb L. L. Paxton, creator of the A Rime of Earth and Embers fantasy series. He’s come here to do a book-signing and Q&A session, made all the more attractive to fans because it will be moderated by Leila Henly, star of the massively successful TV series based on Paxton’s books. In gratitude for the Mavens’ long patronage of the bookstore, owner Janet Flock has gotten the Mavens “backstage passes,” to meet and mingle with Paxton and his close associates.
