Sell Low, Sweet Harriet by Sherry Harris is the eighth book in the “Sarah Winston Garage Sale” cozy mystery series. Publisher: Kensington Books, released December 31, 2019
ONE WOMAN’S TRASH . . .
Sarah Winston’s garage sale business has a new client: the daughter of a couple who recently died in a tragic accident while away on a trip to Africa. Their house is full of exotic items from around the world that need to be sold off. When Sarah learns that the deceased were retired CIA agents, the job becomes more intriguing—but when an intruder breaks in and a hidden camera is found, it also becomes more dangerous. And Sarah has enough on her plate right now since she’s investigating a murder on the side at the nearby Air Force base, where her status as a former military spouse gives her a special kind of access.
. . . IS ANOTHER WOMAN’S TROUBLE
With so much work piling up, Sarah decides to hire some help. But her assistant, Harriet—a former FBI hostage negotiator—has a rare talent for salesmanship. Which is good, because Sarah may have to haggle for her life with Harriet’s assistance . . .
In this latest adventure with Sarah, she finds herself embroiled in two separate mysteries. The one thing I enjoy about this author’s work is her writing style which has a comfortable tone and the pacing is apropos with how well this story is being told. The mystery was well-honed and tightly woven with enough bite to keep me intrigued in all aspects. The author did a great job in staging the drama with visually descriptive narrative, engaging dialogue and I like the interactions between Sarah and those whose roles were pivotal to the outcome of this tale. This was an enjoyable read and I look forward to more exciting exploits with Sarah and her friends in this wonderfully terrific series.
I would love a copy.
