Over dit audioboek
Former sheriff, talented thespian and delightfully eccentric true-crime author Vivian Borne hunts down a Christmas killer in the new Trash ‘n’ Treasures cozy mystery—“one of the funniest cozy series going” (Ellery Queen Magazine)
It’s five days before Christmas, and Vivian Borne—septuagenarian antiques dealer, true-crime writer, and enthusiastic amateur sleuth—and her long-suffering daughter Brandy are preparing a presentation of holiday antiques at the local country club’s annual Christmas luncheon.
Distracted by their secret Santa gifts, the ladies of the club, to Vivian’s dismay, are not giving her and her antique sleigh bells the attention they deserve. But when Norma Crumley, socialite and world-class gossip, falls face first into her plum pudding, it seems Santa has also delivered the sleuthing mother and daughter a present: a cracker of a case!
Christmas in small-town Serenity is (usually) a magical time. Can Vivian and Brandy—not forgetting Shih Tzu sidekick Sushi—make a killing from their holiday antiques, catch a devious murderer, and wrap up the case in time to eat their festive microwave turkey dinners?
This light-hearted, laugh-out-loud cozy mystery also features mother-daughter sleuths Brandy and Vivian’s witty tips for buying and selling antiques, along with a selection of tasty recipes. Perfect for getting you into the holiday spirit—whatever the time of year!
