Garage Sale Mystery

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.

These films are really good! You see antiques,& modern technology used by her son Logan! I find the stories good exiting & look forward to watching them!

6/10 - nice start to the beloved Hallmark Movies & Mysteries series is engaging and has a good mystery

Lori Loughlin and a whole flock of Canadian players bring us the first in a series of Garage Sale Mysteries. All centered around Loughlin whose passion is to go to garage sales. It's her philosophy that one never knows what kind of treasures one finds at a garage sale. And she does pick up some in all of the series.

Here Loughlin has noticed a disturbing pattern of burglaries that seem to follow garage sales she goes to with any number of regulars who also are looking for bargains. But some may not be looking for ones on sale.

It gets deadly when one of her friends who was conducting a garage sale is murdered. It also gets dangerous for Loughlin when she gets too close to the truth.

Other than a nose for valuable antiques, Loughlin is a well adjusted happily married woman with two children and a husband and the investigating cop Andrew Dunbar interested in her daughter Sarah Canning. Imagine the Loughlin you knew from Full House married to Bob Saget and you have her character here. Cameron Bancroft has a nice turn as the husband of Loughlin's deceased friend.

Another good Hallmark mystery.

I enjoy the Garage Sale Mystery movies. They are fun mindless entertainment. It's too bad Lori can't make anymore. Interesting that Hallmark is showing these movies again on their channels even though they fired her. The cast really gels and my favorite is the medical examiner. He's a hoot with his humor. The thing that bugs me the most in these shows is that show people who live in these big modern houses washing their dishes like they don't have a dishwasher! It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen! I also think it's interesting that there have been some actors who have had roles, not recurring roles, but new roles in several different episodes.
