Trouble's on the wind when an auctioneer turns up dead in the new
Trash 'n' Treasures cozy mystery - "one of the funniest cozy series
going" (Ellery Queen Magazine) Two o'clock in the morning is the
perfect time to be asleep. So when long-suffering Brandy Borne is
rudely awoken by her eccentric mother, Vivian, and invited on a
surreptitious shopping trip, the idea is less than tempting. But if
Vivian - Serenity's true-crime writing, septuagenarian super-sleuth
- has a nose for sniffing out antiques, Brandy's sense of smell is
just as good . . . and trouble's on the wind. A little light
blackmail and one run-in with the police later, and Brandy and
Vivian are the 'proud' owners of a selection of dead stock,
liberated ahead of an upcoming warehouse sale from unsavory
auctioneer Conrad Norris. Brandy's not convinced there's a fortune
to be made in vintage toys, retro plates and pearl buttons -
there's more mileage in their shop's new Halloween display, even
though it's only August - but she supposes it could be worse. It
soon is. After the auction's taken place, Vivian and Brandy make an
unnerving discovery. It's not just the stock that's dead - so is
the auctioneer . . . This light-hearted, laugh-out-loud cozy
mystery also features Brandy and Vivian's humorous tips for buying
and selling antiques, along with a selection of tasty recipes.
