The Sarah Winston Garage Sale mysteries have quite a few books already, but this was my first experience with this particular series. I wasn’t expecting it to be as dark and gritty as it was! Honestly, once I let go of my expectations, I ended up really enjoying this.
When Sarah Winston’s landlady, Stella, is kidnapped, Sarah finds herself in a heart-pounding race against time to save Stella’s life (and she makes some questionable decisions along the way). The stakes felt really high in this one, moreso than your typical cozy. I think if you go into it knowing that it is lighter on the charm and heavier on the “OMG!” moments, you’ll like it too.
Thank you Kensington Books for the ARC!
