Brandy Borne's new life in the small Mississippi River town
of Serenity is anything but serene. Moving back in with her
bipolar Mum, 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
shopping mall 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
Vivan's turns up mysteriously deceased.
'Tis the season - to
be murdered?
Brandy and her diva Mum 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 first buyer was furious, and when
Walter ends up dead the next day - 'officially' of a heart
attack - and the book goes missing, Vivian senses a Yuletide
homicide.
As the season's first flakes of snow drift lazily
down over Serenity, Brandy and her mother - with moral
support from Sushi, the decidedly spoiled Shih Tzu - must
unearth vintage clues that point to restless ghosts from the
town's past. If there's any duo that can tell a fake from a
real thing, it's Brandy and her scene-stealing mother. But
even though they know who's been naughty and who's been
nice, they'll have to be very careful not to disturb too
many ghosts from Christmas past...
Sounds like an entertaining read! Thanks. (JoAnn White 3:32pm January 8, 2010)
I love the cover on this book. Looking forward to reading as it sounds delightful between ghosts and dogs this sounds like a spell binding read! (Shirley Sego 5:29pm January 8, 2010)
