Hilariousa delightful debut

A con artist meets his end on a country road and a lot of swindled senior citizens are suspects: Joan Hess

Determined to make a new start in her quaint hometown on the banks of the Mississippi, Brandy Borne never dreams she'll become the prime suspect in a murder case. Moving back in with her eccentric, larger-than-life mother, Brandy Borne finds small-town Serenity, Iowa, anything but serene. It seems an unscrupulous antiques dealer has swindled Vivian out of the family's heirlooms. But when he is found run over in a country lane, Brandy becomes Murder Suspect Number One—with her mother coming in a very close second. The list of other suspects is impressive—the victim's business seems to have been based on bilking seniors out of their possessions. And when the Borne girls uncover a few very unsavory Serenity secrets, they become targets for a murderer whose favorite hobby seems to be collecting victims.
