My taste buds have been undergoing a change during the past year or two. Cozies are falling out of favor (or is that flavor?), I'm afraid-- but there are always exceptions, and Sherry Harris's Garage Sale Mystery series is definitely one of those exceptions.

I love the titles Harris gives to her books, and Sell Low, Sweet Harriet is my favorite. But this series is much more than funny titles. I also love Sarah Winston. She's smart, good-hearted, and learns from her mistakes. When her friend Stella is having a problem, Sarah is there for her. When Sarah can't get everything done by herself, she hires two women to help her, and she has just the right attitude for both of them. (Speaking of those new hires, I'd love to see more of Harriet!)

Harris may have frozen me to the bone with her New England winter, but the mystery she carefully plotted in Sell Low, Sweet Harriet is excellent and kept me guessing every slippery step of the way. Yes, indeed. Sherry Harris has made me like garage sales now-- as long as Sarah Winston is in charge of them. This book-- and the entire series-- is packed with great characters and mysteries. If you haven't read one yet, you really need to do something about it. Pick one up and start reading. You'll be glad you did!
