Publisher's Summary
Meg Langslow was actually looking forward to renovating the old Victorian mansion she and her boyfriend Michael bought. But she wasn't thrilled by the lifetime of junk accumulated by the house's eccentric previous owner, Edwina Sprocket. The easiest solution: hold the end-all and be-all of gigantic yard sales. But when the event attracts the late Miss Sprocket's money-hungry heirs, the over-enthusiastic supporters of some endangered barn owls, and customers willing to go to any lengths to uncover a hidden treasure, Meg suspects things have gotten a little out of hand. Then, an antiques dealer is found stuffed in a trunk with his head bashed in - and the yard sale turns into a days-long media circus.
Another series to keep me happy!
This is my first "Meg Langslow" and I've jumped in to the middle of things but I have wanted to try something from this series for a long time -- and for half a credit, I could be a sport. Author has a light-hearted touch and populates her world with zany, larger than life characters (kind of like the zoo I have lived with all my life). Right now, she is getting 9 hours of mileage out of a yard-sale and the weirdos who frequent them. Any book that starts with the MC dumping a jug of water on a yard-sale early bird ringing her door bell before dawn can't be all bad. This is cozy done well and you bet I will be visiting again.
Three and half stars
