A Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery

Sherry Harris

I love a good garage sale, and I love a good mystery.  Both were well represented in this book.  I found the tie in to military base living interesting, it allowed the author to introduce characters that have a forced intimacy.  To enjoy what I consider to be a Cozy Mystery, I need to like the main characters and their quirks.  There wasn't a lot of quirkiness here, but the fast pace and likable main character helped make up for that.

From the very beginning, Sarah knew she couldn't go to the police for help.  Even though she was the (alleged) wronged party, having your ex as the Chief of Police can put a damper on those emergency responses.  Toward the end of the book, Sarah finds out who she can trust and who really has her back, which surprised me almost as much as it surprised her.  I look forward to reading more about the garage sale finds, friends and past indiscretions of the main character.  Very entertaining!
