Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during April 2017 is …
Antiques Frame by Barbara Allan, a Brandy Borne, Trash 'n' Treasures Mystery (11th in series)
Publisher: Kensington
With their reality TV series, Antiques Sleuths, Brandy Borne and her quaintly kooky mother, Vivian, have a real hit on their hands. But another "hit" enters the picture, after a rival bidder becomes a one-woman show at their televised auctions — and it's the estranged wife of Brandy's police-chief beau, Tony! Soon the fine art of murder colors the scene, fitting Brandy for an ornately elaborate frame.
But when you're inside a frame, it's difficult to make out the picture. That's why Brandy's mom — her daughter now wearing basic jailhouse orange — must sort through a rogue's gallery of suspects including a too-friendly farmer's wife, a ratings-happy TV producer, a questionable husband-and-wife auctioneer team, and even the chief of police himself.
Brandy and Vivian race to determine how an empty antique frame can hold a deadly portrait, a picture worth a thousand dangerous words. Aided only by Sushi, their loyal shih tzu, and police dog Rocky, the wacky mother-and-daughter sleuthing team must learn the killer's identity before they become the subjects of another masterpiece of murder.
— Antiques Frame by Barbara Allan
