The Picker Who Perished/ A Too Good to be Threw Consignment Shop Mystery

?A light-hearted mystery featuring Wendy Sam Miller, "fanny-rich" owner of a Sarasota Florida consignment shop, who must convince the police, and the oh-so-attractive Detective Litwin, that her friend and merchandise picker Ilene did not die in an accidental fall but was murdered. But why was she murdered? Who would want her dead? And what does the mysterious list Ilene left behind mean? Can Wendy Sam solve the mystery... and run her shop at the same time? What with competitors like Evil Thalia and the sexy antique dealer Henri Pousse, who may or may not be a thief called Harry the Grass, and a bevy of Sarasotans with their own agendas, Wendy Sam has to figure out what's going on. Did Ilene fall... or was she pushed because she was pushing some powers-that-be in this seaside town? Delightful characters and sunny climes provide an appealing venue for this author's first mystery. Kate Holmes is the author of Too Good to be Threw, The Complete Operations Manual for Resale & Consignment Shops, and an industry icon.
