Another great mystery by Sharon Fiffer. It helps if you enjoy flea marketing!
# 3 in an amusing series with the main character an "antique picker". She and Detective Oh are on another adventure
likeable series about an amateur sleuth who is a garage sale nut and a part-time detective. Enjoy!
I tend to be something of a pack rat, so I can really relate to Jane Wheel. This is a series I really enjoy.
Number 3 in the Jane Wheel mystery series. I have enjoyed every one so far. Number 4 is in my TBR pile!
If you are a collector or a mystery lover, this lively book is sure to please you.
The first two books in the series were just OK IMO. This one picks up a little primarily because Jane spends a lot of time in this book with Tim, her BFF since childhood. Tim can be a hoot! The mystery in this book gets a wee bit convoluted, but I really liked how Jane used her innate attachment to old stuff to help her solve the mystery in the end.
From back of book:
"Jane Wheel is an antiques picker, cruising garage sales looking for items she can turn around and sell to dealers for a tidy profit. She also has a knack for finding clues and solving crimes."
I have really enjoyed this series.

At the same time, she must decide whether to join former police detective Bruce Oh's private detective agency. Events come to a head when Oh's wife, Claire, an antiques dealer, is accused of substituting a fake chest for an extremely rare find.
