DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Bărbaţii şi femeile funcţionează diferit — acesta este un lucru ştiut deja de toată lumea. Ce nu se ştie încă este cum pot fi respectate aceste diferenţe, ba chiar transformate în atuuri. Femeile sunt stresate de cumpărături, dar bărbaţii se descurcă foarte bine dacă sunt înarmaţi cu o listă detaliată. Femeile nu spun exact ce vor să facă bărbaţii, iar aceştia nu înţeleg limbajul indirect al partenerelor lor. Comunicarea în cuplu este un continuu vals, la care, dacă nu respectaţi paşii de dans, o să ajungeţi mereu să vă călcaţi pe picioare. Sau să vă cicăliţi.

Ce-ar fi dacă am putea învăța cum să interpretăm corect limbajul trupului? Ei bine, am influența părerea interlocutorilor despre noi sau despre afacerea pe care le-o propunem, i-am convinge mai ușor să ne devină parteneri, am putea colabora cu ei pe termen lung și... am înregistra încontinuu succese în profesie. Cartea de față explică detaliat limbajul trupului, în contextul modern al afacerilor secolului XXI. Totul începe cu prima impresie (pentru care nu aveți niciodată o a doua șansă). Dar aceasta nu e de ajuns.

When popular podcaster Nicole Chatterton wants an interview for Killers Caught, true-crime author Vivian Borne is overjoyed. Finally, some recognition for the sleuthing skills the septuagenarian antiques dealer and her daughter Brandy have demonstrated, solving countless crimes in their small hometown of Serenity, Iowa! Dolled up and dressed to the nines, Vivian figures the interview is going swimmingly … until Nicole turns the tables, accusing the mother/daughter duo of committing the very crimes they solved.

Sierra Kane—who has bounced from one foster family to another—faces an uncertain future when she receives an unapplied-for scholarship to Barnard College specifically designed for orphans whose academic records are merely above average. A second unexpected boon comes her way when another recipient of that somewhat mysterious scholarship offers her a part-time courier job. Soon, Sierra is caught up in a whirl of espionage and murder, with a new boyfriend who may or may not be part of a plot, a college mentor with a possible agenda of her own, and an FBI agent who rebuffs Sierra’s plea for help.

Vivian Borne—true-crime author, antiques dealer, and ex-sheriff of Serenity, Iowa—is looking forward to meeting her new editor in London. Flying first class, rooms at the Savoy…her long-suffering co-author, daughter Brandy, worries the trip will bankrupt them both, but the alternative—Mother travelling alone—is unthinkable. Brandy’s almost tempted to make her fiancé, Tony—Serenity’s Chief of Police—call Scotland Yard and warn them Vivian’s coming.

This light-hearted, laugh-out-loud cozy mystery also features mother-daughter sleuths Brandy and Vivian’s witty tips for buying and selling antiques, along with a selection of tasty recipes. Perfect for getting you into the holiday spirit—whatever the time of year!

This collection includes three books in the Trash n’ Treasures Mystery Series: Antiques Carry On, Antiques Liquidation, and Antiques Foe.

Two o’clock in the morning is the perfect time to be asleep. So when long-suffering Brandy Borne is rudely awoken by her eccentric mother, Vivian, and invited on a surreptitious shopping trip, the idea is less than tempting. But if Vivian—Serenity’s true-crime writing, septuagenarian super-sleuth—has a nose for sniffing out antiques, Brandy’s sense of smell is just as good … and trouble’s on the wind. A little light blackmail and one run-in with the police later, and Brandy and Vivian are the ‘proud’ owners of a selection of dead stock.
