A cozy mystery with “a fast-paced plot, plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor, and tips on antique collecting” (Library Journal).
Spring has sprung a major leak in far-from-serene Serenity, as the Mississippi River drops in for an extended stay. With homes and businesses flooded, how better to help the town recover than by staging a church bazaar?

When the winning bidder turns up mortally scrambled, Brandy and Mother cook up a plan to crack the case of this killer. . .who is one seriously bad egg!
Includes Miss Brandy Borne's Tips On Antiques!
