Review; Antiques Ravin' by Barbara Allan

Last year I was lucky enough to recieve an ARC of Antiques Ravin' by Barbara Allan through Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards, but I haven't published my review until now.

Description from Goodreads
The votes are in! Eccentric seventy-something Vivian Borne--elected county sheriff, to everyone's amazement but her own--springs into action. In her new role, the community playhouse diva appoints daughter Brandy reluctant deputy and makes their spunky shih tzu Sushi a K-9 unit of one.

Soon the amateur-sleuths-turned-pro have a challenging case to solve as a series of creepy crimes plague an ill-fated Edgar Allan Poe festival, where a fiend is misguidedly dispensing Poe-etic justice. Small-town Antiqua, known for its quaint main street of antique shops, has set out to celebrate the gothic poet with food, fun, and rare memorabilia, only to have the Master of the Macabre's twisted tales come to deadly life.

A purloined tome, a black cat, a musty mausoleum, and mysterious disappearances--these tell the tale of a heartless murderer. But Vivian and Brandy Borne are determined to decipher the cryptic clues to make sure a ravin'-mad killer strikes "nevermore"!

Don't miss Brandy Borne's tips on hunting for valuable antiques!

My Thoughts on the Book
Antiques Ravin' is a fun and entertaining mystery. Brandy and Vivian alternates the chapters, but I sometimes found it hard to follow the trail of thought when it came to Vivian. I might add that I did enjoy Poe lurking in the background.
