About the book
After her mom makes a counterfeit confession, an antiques dealer must find the real murderer: “A sure-fire winner.”—Publishers Weekly
Brandy Borne is pretty sure her “charmingly eccentric” (a.k.a. “off her meds”) mother, Vivian, didn't kill that viperous mousy-haired busybody Connie Grimes. But there's the small matter of her guilty plea. . ..While Mother blithely adapts to life behind bars by organizing a jailhouse theater troupe, seven-months-pregnant Brandy and her intrepid shih tzu, Sushi, trundle into a morass of fake antiques and faux collectibles. In the dog days of summer, they'd better not bark up the wrong tree—or a scheming killer just may put the bite on them…
“An often amusing tale complete with lots of antiques-buying tips and an ending that may surprise you.”—Kirkus Reviews
\"If you like laugh-out-loud mysteries, this one will make your day.\" --Romantic Times (4.5 stars)
Praise for Barbara Allan and the Trash ‘n' Treasures Mystery Series. . .
