Description
Brandy Borne's new life in the small Mississippi River town of Serenity is anything but serene. Moving back in with her bipolar mom, Vivian--an antique herself, who treats Brandy like a perpetual five-year old--is challenging enough, but stocking and running their antiques holiday booth at the mall together is positively daunting. And as the big Christmas season gets into full swing, they find themselves in the midst of small-town mayhem when an old flame of Vivian's turns up mysteriously show more deceased. 'Tis the season--to be murdered?Brandy and her diva mom last saw the recently departed dealer, Walter Yeager, at a flea market where Vivian made her usual theatrical scene while saving Walter from under-pricing a valuable first edition of Tarzan and the Apes. The prospective buyer was furious, and when Walter winds up dead the next day--"officially" of a heart attack--and the book goes missing, Vivian senses a Yuletide homicide.

This is the first I have read in this series. It is quite contemporary and the characters all have their flaws esp. in relating to each other. The author had some innovative things in the book which I liked.

This is the third installment of the Trash 'n' Treasures series and by far is the best of the three. It's genteel reading at best, but at least the non-stop name dropping and product placement has subsided. There were two very intense storylines that could have been really good reading material that were completely glossed over. I guess that's why I am not interested in the cozy genre. These books, had they been stronger in development could have made for fascinating reading.
What fun! Slightly "off" family involved in the antique business. Truly silly fun. Great recreational series.
recycled. didn't read
