Starting your life over at age thirty-eight isn’t easy, but that’s what Sarah Winston finds herself facing when her husband CJ runs off with a 19-year-old temptress named Tiffany. Sarah’s self-prescribed therapy happily involves hitting all the garage and tag sales in and around her small town of Ellington, Massachusetts. If only she could turn her love for bargain hunting into a full-time … career.
One man’s junk is another man’s treasure
But after returning from a particularly successful day searching for yard sale treasures, Sarah finds a grisly surprise in one of her bags: a freshly bloodied shirt. . .that undoubtedly belongs to her ex, CJ, who now happens to be Ellington’s chief of police. If that’s not bad enough, it seems Tiffany has gone missing. Now it’s up to Sarah to prove that her cold-hearted ex is not a cold-blooded killer. . .
But finding that treasure can be murder.

I loved the characters and the interaction between protagonist Sarah Winston and the Ellington Police Department.

I felt so …
I have found a FANTASTIC new series!!! The yard sale part hooked me from the start (I LOVE YARD SALES) but the murder mystery and slight romance sealed the deal. I was edge of my seat reading and constantly on my toes with all the twists and turns. I am going to enjoy reading this series over and over again!
After thoroughly enjoying author Sherry Harris’ first book in her new Sea Glass Saloon Mystery series, From Beer to Eternity, I thought maybe it was time I gave her popular, long-running Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery Series a try. I am oh so glad I did. Same great writing, exciting, well-plotted mystery, engaging characters, full of humor …

WOW! By the end of this book I was turning the pages so fast I saw smoke, lol! Well-written and really kept me guessing (and surprised me!) – can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series! A+++
