About this audiobook

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 fiancé, 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. Then if you just can’t get enough, Antiques Foe and Antiques Liquidation are available on audio now!
