I have not read this series before. I found this book to be entertaining. I think that I will have to find time to read the rest of the series. Searching through used items is a pleasure for Sarah. The thrill of finding a treasure in someone else's junk is rush, wiping away the dust and cobwebs to uncover a prize is what she lives for.

When Sarah isn't on the hunt, she's organizing tag sales for her clients.

Will Sarah have the courage to do what's necessary for everyone involved?

This story was everything I love in a cozy mystery. The characters were colorful and fun, the mystery kept me guessing and there was a nice romantic twist as well.

A Good Day to Buy is the fourth book in the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery series written by Sherry Harris. I enjoy this author’s writing style and Ms. Harris has provided enough character background that this book can be read as a standalone but it does end with a cliffhanger. The storyline is well plotted and the characters well developed and relatable. There were plenty of suspects and enough twists and turns to keep the reader engaged and no adult language, graphic violence, or sexually explicit situations. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading well-crafted cozy mysteries.

Sarah Winston lives in Ellington, Massachusetts and loves garage sales. She manages a virtual garage sale website, provides professional services to people having garage sales, and volunteers at the local military base’s thrift shop. She loves searching through used items and finding treasures. Sometimes she runs into a rare find at an unbelievable price but rather than taking advantage of the seller and purchasing it, she lets them know the item is valuable. Sarah and her ex-husband, Chief of Police ‘CJ’, are ‘dating’ and trying to work out their differences. During the sale for her clients, Velma and Verne Spencer, Sarah is devastated when she discovers the husband murdered and the wife unconscious in their garage. Sarah’s estranged brother, Luke, suddenly shows up at her door, needing a place to stay for a few days. Sarah isn’t sure what he does for a living but he’s asked her not to tell anyone he’s in town, especially their parents and CJ, until he completes his ‘investigative assignment’ and that he’ll explain everything then. While Luke is showering, Sarah snoops in his backpack but comes up with questions rather than answers. Sarah becomes worried when she can’t locate Luke and he isn’t answering her calls or texts. While searching for him, she stumbles upon the body of Ethan, a homeless veteran, who has Luke’s backpack. Evidence begins stacking up against him but even though they’ve grown apart, Sarah is certain Luke isn’t guilty and begins investigating on her own, beginning with names on a piece of paper she found in his backpack after the second murder.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it.

This is the best book in the series!
I absolutely loved reading this exciting story and I found myself glued to my chair until I finished it.
Sarah Winston is such a fun character and she really shined in A Good Day to Buy by Sherry Harris.

Of course, Ms. Harris left us with a cliffhanger and I will be eagerly waiting for the next book.
I proudly volunteered to read an ARC of this book provided by the publisher and NetGalley.

This has quickly become one of my favorite series - a cut above the usual cozy mystery. Sarah Winston runs a garage sale business in the town of Ellington, Mass. Although Sarah is divorced from CJ who is the local police chief, they are in the midst or reconciling. She is in the middle of a sale when she finds the bodies of the homeowners in the garage- one dead and the other in critical condition. She also sees someone running from the scene. Later that day there is a knock on her apartment door and she opens it to find Luke, her long lost brother who is very mysterious about why he is there, then he disappears. Luke turns out to be a suspect in the deaths, and Sarah uses everything at her disposal to figure out both what Luke is doing and to clear his name. I loved the setting, near Boston and reading about the north end restaurants, taking the "T", and the Red Sox as I lived in Boston for several years, but what is most impressive about this series is Sarah herself, an admirable take-charge person with a strong sense of loyalty and love.

What a fabulous cozy mystery!! Sarah Winston is the ultimate character, savy, independent, fiesty but good hearted, and she just draws you into her world. All of the supporting characters are so realistically pivotal to the storyline that the story just flows. The mystery itself is oh, so good! Garage sales, veterans, friends, lovers past, present, and current, and the reappearance of a brother missing for many years, and murder, what more could you want! The ending is really exciting, what will the future hold for Sarah, and will we learn more about her brother, Luke? Can't wait for the next book!!! Thanks NetGalley and Kensington for an advanced copy. A hands down 5++ stars.

Although not my cup of tea, I'm sure fans of this series will enjoy it.

Part of the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery series.
Sarah is running a garage sale for couple that's moving, but in the middle of sale day, the husband turns up dead and the wife is unconscious.
Her helper, teenager Lindsay, snaps a few shots of the people unwilling to wait for the police.
Sarah's brother is back in town after decades and secretive to boot. Is there a connection?
Veteran and homeless Ethan also dies in much the same manner. Are they connected?
Sarah and her police chief boyfriend search for answers, often at odds as he prefers to keep her safe.
Fast moving and believably told tale, I loved it from the start.
I received an ARC from NetGalley, but feel compelled to get the rest of the series...soon.

I love this series. Getting an ARC via Netgalley was very fortunate. Another installment with Sarah sleuthing and lots of intrigue. Without spoiling too much I want to say I am a bit disappointed with the cliffy ending. Sarah is not able to make up her mind, it seems. I hope the author is not indending to drag this out too long.
