HER BROTHER IS NO BARGAIN
When Sarah Winston’s estranged brother Luke shows up on her doorstep, asking her not to tell anyone he’s in town—especially her ex, the chief of police—the timing is strange, to say the least. Hours earlier, Sarah’s latest garage sale was taped off as a crime scene following the discovery of a murdered Vietnam vet and his gravely injured wife—her clients, the Spencers.BUT IS HE A KILLER?
All Luke will tell Sarah is that he’s undercover, investigating a story. Before she can learn more, he vanishes as suddenly as he appeared. Rummaging through his things for a clue to his whereabouts, Sarah comes upon a list of veterans and realizes that to find her brother, she’ll have to figure out who killed Mr. Spencer. And all without telling her ex . . .
My Thoughts
A Good Day to Buy by Sherry Harris was packed with excitement from page one. Sarah Winston is helping the Spencers downsize their possessions so that they can retire to Florida. The attack on her clients leaves one dead and one hospitalized. No one witnessed the attack at the garage sale. Sarah’s estranged brother shows up in the area as well, adding to the mystery and intrigue of this story.
I loved that this cozy had me wanting to binge read it all in one session. It was just that good! Sarah is a great character and I instantly found myself warmed to her. The mystery and subplots kept me on my toes! I haven’t yet read all the books in this series, and I am so excited to go back and do so.
About Sherry Harris
Agatha award nominated author, Sherry Harris, started bargain hunting in second grade at her best friend’s yard sale. She honed her bartering skills as she moved around the country while her husband served in the Air Force. Sherry uses her love of garage sales, her life as a military spouse, and her time living in Massachusetts as inspiration for the Sarah Winston Garage Sale series.
I read the first book in the Garage Sale Mysteries and enjoyed Sarah’s character and situation. I enjoy the occasional cozier type mystery but I do enjoy them more if they have realistic dialogue and fleshed-out characters, as this series has. Thanks for the chance to win!
