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.
