This book was listed as a book similar to another book I'd read this year. (I honestly can't remember, sorry!) Anyway, I was in the mood for a quickish mystery, so off to the library I went to check out this book. It started out decently, three friends who love to bargain shop and their 4th friend is missing, soon to be found dead with an arrow in her back. I have to admit, I think this is the first murder mystery that I've read that the murder weapon is a bow. Anyway. The story continues on, with a police officer who is struggling to connect with her son and keep him out of trouble, an older lady who is missing her husband who passed away 15 years ago, and the grieving 3 friends. They've determined that the reason the friend was killed had to have been important, so they go through the final garage sale purchases of the deceased and try to put the clues together. While I enjoyed this book, I just found it a bit too forced. Perhaps I've just read too many other mysteries. I wanted to find out the ending, but at the same time, I didn't necessarily care if I did. It almost seemed as though there was just too much going on in this book. Too many 'issues'. I don't know that I'll continue reading the Bargain Hunters Mysteries series or not. Perhaps when my book pile is low and I"m in the mood for a mystery that isn't totally believable... ( )

A group of women who bond over discount shopping are thrown into turmoil when one of them mysteriously dies. The rest of them try to figure out what happened to their friend by re-tracing her garage sale route from the day that she died.
A pretty fluffy mystery, and very light reading. It doesn't delve much into deeper issues but you might get some ideas on how to find some really good bargains. ( )
