The Gun Also Rises is the sixth installment in the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery series set in Ellington, Massachusetts and featuring garage sale organizer, Sarah Winston. Sarah has been invited to the home of Mrs. Belle "Miss Belle" Winthrop Granville III in order to help organize a sale for the woman's vast collection of mysteries.
Working alongside Sarah to handle the rare and valuable books in the collection is Roger Mervine, a snobby rare book collector from Boston. Roger rubs her the wrong way so Sarah decides to begin her work in the attic, where she uncovers original manuscripts written by Ernest Hemingway hidden in an overnight trunk. Taking her find downstairs to share with Miss Belle, the elderly woman appears to be visibly shaken by the find and asks Sarah to give her a few minutes alone.
Shortly after returning to the attic Sarah is startled by a cry from downstairs and hurries to find Miss Belle lying on the library floor and the overnight case missing. Running to the open door Sarah spots the live in maid Kay, running through the woods, a brief chase, a gun shot and Sarah finds the woman lying dead on the forest floor with the overnight case no where in sight.
Determined to find the killer and track down the missing manuscripts and a rumored first edition of The Sun Also Rises, Sarah sets out against the advice of Officer Scott Pellner, and soon finds herself a prime suspect in the case. Helping Sarah are series regulars; her landlady Stella, district attorney Seth Anderson and the reputed mobster Mike "The Big Cheese" Titone.
A fast paced plot that will draw you in from the start. It appears the author has finally ended the dreaded love triangle between Sarah, ex husband CJ and Seth so it will be interesting to see how Sarah's personal relationships evolve in the upcoming additions to the series. The secondary story line in this book features Eric Hunt, a war veteran deep in the throes of PTSD who is desperately trying to raise the funds needed to bring home King, the street dog he'd bonded with in Afghanistan.
