Look out London — eccentric antiques dealer Vivian Borne and her daughter Brandy are bringing their own brand of mayhem and mischief to the British capital, in the fifteenth installment of the award-winning Trash 'n' Treasures cozy mystery series.
Vivian Borne — true-crime author, antiques dealer and ex-sheriff of Serenity, Iowa — is looking forward to meeting her new editor in London. Flying first class, rooms at the Savoy . .. Her long-suffering co-author, daughter Brandy, worries the trip will bankrupt them both, but the alternative — Mother travelling alone — is unthinkable. Brandy's almost tempted to make her fiance, Tony — Serenity's Chief of Police — call Scotland Yard and warn them Vivian's coming.
But even Brandy doesn't predict their vacation will end in murder . . . or that she and Mother will be unceremoniously ejected from the country, with an order to leave things well alone.
Vivian and Brandy need a case to write about, and Mother doesn't care which one. But as the intrepid sleuths — ably supported by doggy detective Sushi — investigate a promising local prospect, they're plunged into a complex mystery that stretches right back to London . . . with no choice but to carry on.
Looking for a laugh-out-loud, quirky mystery to brighten your mood? Trash 'n' Treasures is “one of the funniest cozy series going” (Ellery Queen Magazine) — and if you're new to the series, it's safe to jump right in.
