Why was her uncle Paul buried so far away from his family’s plot? And at Secondhand Blessings, another mystery emerges. Like clock- work, a group of four women come into the shop every Monday to consign their weekly garage-sale and estate-scavenging finds. But when only three of them show up one week, it soon becomes apparent that something sinister is afoot for the missing woman.
Meanwhile, Mary can’t quite figure out a man who has come to Bird-in-Hand. While the charming, attractive man seems friendly enough, and maybe even interested in Mary, there’s just something about him that puts her on the defensive. Is Mary just being overly cautious, or is there good reason for her wariness?
My Review:
The premise of the book is a good one, and it was certainly intriguing enough to want to read. While the characters were solid, they lacked the dynamic pull that thrusts the reader right into the plot with them. I found the middle of the book really lagged, and I struggled to get through that part. The last third of the book did pick up and added a lot more mystery/suspense to the plot. Overall, it was a good read.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
