Antiques Fate

Brandy Borne’s eccentric mother, Vivian, has been invited to perform her one-woman show of Macbeth at the hamlet of Old York’s Brit-flavored annual fête. Brandy, sensing a dramatic disaster, and savvy shih tzu Sushi, sensing doggy treats, tag along. Before the curtain goes up, an unscripted death occurs onstage. When a second victim makes a too-hasty exit from the mortal coil, Brandy and Vivian must step into the spotlight. But a calculating killer seems to be well-rehearsed for the Borne girls . . .
