Death of a Garage Sale Newbie

Death of a Garage Sale Newbie by Sharon Dunn

I loved the characters in this story. It's hard when someone dies in real life—we cry, we mourn, we say things we don't mean. Sharon Dunn truly handles this well in her book. These women—Ginger, Kindra, and Suzanne—lost a friend. Worse, she died in a violent manner. There’s nothing funny about that. Yet life goes on. People move on, remembering their friends; sometimes with tears, sometimes with laughter.

Sharon Dunn wisely allows Ginger to grieve, even as she investigates to discover the truth about Mary Margret’s death. That, to me, is the kind of detail that adds enough realism to make the story plausible. TO allow that “suspension of disbelief” we all face inside a novel, that invites us to enter the world of the story, live in it for awhile, and finish it knowing it was a good journey through its pages.
