Love diving back into this world with it's great characters and ever present twist and turns. A whole lot of stuff going on with the military, garage sales, sets up and more. fantastic addition to the series.

I received a free copy of LET’S FAKE A DEAL (Book 7 of the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mysteries) by Sherry Harris in exchange for an honest review. Sarah Winston has settled into her life as a former military spouse living in an Air Force town. Sarah’s garage sale business is now stable, and her romantic relationship is progressing nicely. Sarah’s life is turned upside-down when she’s accused of fencing stolen goods at one of her garage sales, arrested, and charged. In the meantime, one of Sarah’s friends, Michelle, is facing her own difficulties; it seems the Air Force boy’s club is trying to torpedo Michelle’s career and upcoming promotion by filing unfounded discrimination complaints against her. When Michelle’s accuser is found murdered in Michelle’s automobile, it seems like both Sarah and Michelle are being set up for jail. Can Sarah figure out who’s framing each of them before they go from friends to cell mates?

I liked this book. I did not read any of the earlier books in the series, but I easily connected to the characters and had no problems following the story lines. I recommend this book to fans of Sherry Harris, to fans of the series, and to fans of garage sale, military wife, or antiques-themed cozy mysteries.

This is a great series and Let's Fake a Deal by Sherry Harris is a mind blowing story that's sure to leave the reader guessing until the end.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for approving me to read an advanced copy of this book.

Growing up on military bases, Let’s Fake a Deal, with its military life based theme appealed to me. Sarah is a former military spouse, who still lives close to the base and is somewhat entwined with military life through being in contact with military spouses and through volunteer work. She is currently supporting herself by running a yard/tag sale business. She finds herself in a spot of trouble when it turns out she is selling stolen goods at a yard sale and the people who hired her have disappeared. This is the 7th in the series, so I am sure that I was missing quite a bit of the back story of Sarah, her brother and the other recurring characters. Fun cute cozy with an interesting theme.

Sarah Winston is back and hosting a garage sale that has her being arrested for being in possession of stolen goods. When Sarah gives the police the names and number of her client, it seems they do not exist and Sarah must prove her innocence before she goes before the judge.

Trying to keep positive and go on with her life, Sarah goes out with her friend, Michelle, who ends up being the prime suspect in a murder the next morning. There’s a whole lot of stuff going on in this book and we’re not just talking garage sales. Sarah not only needs to clear her name, to keep her beau Seth from having issues with his reelection campaign as the DA, but also needs to clear Michelle of a murder charger as well.

As always, Sarah has some interesting sales and good friends to help her along the way. Not quite as strong as the previous books in the series, but still a solid read.

This was a really enjoyable book. I found there to be a few too many characters. I got lost a little bit trying to remember who everyone was but I really like the series and I think that the quality of the writing is great.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review.

This was a cute novel. Though I haven't read any other books in the series, I was able to understand most of what was going on (though I'm not clear on why there was a mafia-type connection - that seemed strange). I liked protagonist Sarah and her interesting business of running garage sales for people. I've never heard of that and it's a clever idea. Sarah's friends business associates were also quirky and fun, especially Kitty the cat lady. I'm definitely not a cat person, but I grew to like the descriptions of the weird jewelry and knickknacks she was selling. I'm definitely open to reading other installments in the series.

However, a couple things about the story irritated me a bit. Referring to Dunkin' Donuts as "Dunkin's" drove me nuts - I've never heard anyone say "let's meet at Dunkin's" - it would always be "let's meet at Dunkin'" instead. And the business was mentioned so frequently, it seemed like product placement much the same way people in TV shows or movies drink certain beverages or drive specific cars. It was a little much.

Let's Fake a Deal is a good mystery with some great characters. I enjoyed reading this book. I would like to read more by this author.

I really enjoy this series. The characters continue to grow and flesh out more in each book, it’s fun to learn about life on a military base and garage sales, especially this one, with an all cat sale, and the mysteries are always good too. The book opens with Sarah running a garage sale when the Police pull up and arrest her for selling stolen property. She is flabbergasted, and when they go inside to confront the homeowners, it seems they’ve set her up and flown the coop. Out on bail she meets her friend Michelle at a bar frequented by the military personnel and Michelle is seriously harassed by servicemen standing near them. The next morning when they return to the bar to pick up their cars, Michele discovers the dead body of her main harasser sitting in her front seat. Sarah must solve these two mysteries as well as confront and understand her feelings about DA Seth, the man she’s seeing.
I highly recommend this lastest in her garage sale mysteries, and am a.ready looking forward to the next.

This is a great addition to one of my favorite series. It captivated my attention from the very first page as Sarah Winston, the intelligent, intrepid heroine of this series, is arrested for receiving stolen property while running one of her garage sales. She finds that she has been set up by "kate and Alex Green" and makes it her mission to find them and restore her reputation. Meanwhile, Sarah goes to meet her friend Michelle, an Air force officer, at a local bar to celebrate Michelle's impending promotion. While the two women are there, Michelle is harassed by some other officers, especially Major Blade. When the major is found dead in Michelle's car, and Michelle is the lead suspect, Sarah also takes on the job of finding the real killer. This story features a likeable character and a polished plot. I highly recommend it,
