I am a big fan of yard sales, antique shops, and old odds and ends. After reading the first book in this series, I immediately ordered the rest! They were wonderful reading, and I cannot wait until the next book comes out.

The adage, "One man's junk is another's man's treasure," certainly fits the bill for Sharon Fiffer's Killer Stuff. Killer Stuff debuts Jane Wheel, ex career woman now antique picker. Fiffer's cozy featuring the world of antiques is a much cleaner, funnier and easier read then Tamar Meyers Den of Antiquity series from way back when. Thanks for turning me on to this series bikewmn. :) Looking forward to the rest of the series. 1st in the series.

I really enjoyed this one! Although the main character, Jane Wheel, suffers from "Heroine Does Stupid Stuff" cozy syndrome, there is enough interesting information on collectibles and the world of collecting to keep any "Antiques Roadshow" fan happy. This is pure fluff but it is fun and readable fluff. I'll be looking for more!

I liked it, the murder mystery was semi-interesting, and the antique information was informative, i did not follow the story all of the time, i found it a bit confusing. even at the end when they try to wrap things up, i was still a bit cloudy on who did what and why... anyway, the members of the story were well drawn, and I did whip through the book in a weekend, but i'm not sure i'll pick up another Sharon Fiffer book, i was not overly impressed.

Jane Wheel, recently laid off from her PR job and separated from her professor husband, is making ends meet by foraging through garage and estate sales, flea markets and the odd auction in search of "killer stuff." Jane often borrows her neighbor Sandy's Suburban so she can haul her finds home, but after one trip she returns to find Sandy dead. Since too many people caught Jane sharing a furtive kiss with Sandy's husband at a dinner party months before, she fears the neighbors will consider her the prime suspect in the murder. Luckily, Chicago homicide detective Bruce Oh seems to have an open mind, and when Jane discovers a second corpse, as well as a peculiar object used in the murder, Oh is willing to let Jane employ her special expertise in the sleuthing. Aided by best friend Tim, a gay antiques dealer, Jane persists in her dual hunts for the killer and for overlooked bargains.
