This is book 6 in the series.
I munch through these mysteries rather quickly, and still needing a brain break after finishing Nova Swing, I consumed book 6.
Premise of the book is Meg and her actor-boyfriend Michael finally decided to buy the Victorian mansion they discovered in a previous book outside of Caerphilly. The house comes at a price though, the previous owner, Edwina Sprocket was an eclectic hoarder and left behind room and rooms and sheds and barns full of various sundries. And there is a lot. Meg and Michael decide to hold the yard sale of yard sales and she enlists her eccentric family to help.
What was going to be the sale of the season turns into the circus of the year when the body of a local antiques dealer is found dead in a trunk. Now it's up to Meg to find out who killer was so she can resume her yard sale as quickly as possible!
Another fun read - quick, full of quirky characters such as "Gordon-you-thief", the Hummel Lady, and the Sombrero Man. One of my complaints with this book was how the heroine seems to live this frantic life running around with her notebook and calling 911 to shout "I've got the killer! Oops, never mind...it's not him." Andrews did at a bit more realism this time with a brief argument between Meg and Michael regarding Michael's attempts to get Meg to talk to her mother about decorating the house, but I felt the resolution came a bit quick and fast.
Anyway, I'm not going to pick on the book because the whole point is it's just a fun read.
