This is the start of a very entertaining cosy mystery series on Halmark that centers on Jennifer Shannon, a happily married mother of two who with her friend/business partner Danielle scours garage sales to resell items in their antique shop, Rags to Riches.
Hannah, their eldest child who is an artist and in college, is going through her first big breakup. She is graduating in June and has plans to go to law school in the fall. Logan, the youngest, is always hungry and a video game addict. Husband Jason seems to have a good sense of humor and is an excellent partner to Jennifer especially as he seems to be pretty handy...especially when Jennifer needs a consultation on a leaky roof at Rags to Riches. Partner and best friend Danielle is all green smoothies and new age philosophies while looking for her life partner.
I really enjoy the typical "normal" home life portrayed in this the series opener. Also...garage sales, antiques and mysteries...right up my alley.
Jennifer quickly makes friends with a new Detective Iverson at the police station when she brings him her garage sale mystery as she thinks that local break-ins are related to local garage sales at which she thinks the thieves are casing the houses before breaking in.
Then Jennifer finds her friend Kate dead after a garage sale, but Detective Iverson determines it to be an accident. When Hannah meets Detective Adam Iverson on their garage sale fishing mission, she slowly starts to come out of her break-up funk.
6,000 home burglaries a day!!!! This was also a good cautionary tale. Thieves are in and out in 8 minutes, less if they have cased the place.
This is a fairly tight mystery based on the Suzi Weinert Garage Sale Mystery series of books and this was a great start to the hallmark series. I think cosy mystery fans will really enjoy this series and I recommend it.
