"Garage Sale Mystery"

"Garage Sale Mystery" is the first of a series of Hallmark Movies starring Lori Loughlin who portrays Jennifer Shannon.  Jennifer and a friend own a resell shop and spend their time going to garage sales seeking items for their shop.  As Jennifer is making her rounds of sales one Saturday morning, she encounters a friend she hasn't seen in a long time.  They get to talking and her friend asks if they can make a lunch date.

When Jennifer arrives for the lunch date to pick up her friend, she discovers her dead at the foot of her stairs.  She apparently suffered a fall while her husband was out of town.  Jennifer is suspicious , though, because a Jade statue she'd advised her friend to keep because it might be valuable is missing.

Since there have been a number of burglaries at addresses of garage sales Jennifer attended, she convinces the new, young detective to take another look at the case.  She continues to do some sleuthing on her own, however, and almost ends up a victim herself.

It's a great mystery and a "feel good" movie.  My husband is not particularly a fan of Hallmark Channel movies but he liked the "feel good" portions of this one -- people helping other people instead of trying to rip them off.  It's worth a watch in my opinion.  pazt
