GARAGE SALE MYSTERIES, SERIES 3

Jennifer Shannon (Lori Loughlin, Full House, Spin City) has a gift for finding rare treasures hidden in garage sales that she can resell at her consignment store, ‘Rags to Riches’. But her keen eye for searching out valuables also gets her involved in mysteries and criminal investigations that she uncovers at the second-hand sales she frequents. The engrossing cases continue with five TV movies premiering this June.

In A Case of Murder, Jennifer purchases a reel-to-reel tape recorder from a garage sale and finds herself eavesdropping on a very private and anxious moment for a therapist. Just days later, his body is found in an apartment he rented on the sly - stabbed to death. In The Mask of Murder, the contents of an abandoned storage locker provide a series of complex leads when a body turns up on the premises and in Murder in D Minor, Jennifer must connect the clues offered by a rare German piano and a vandalised painting to solve a murder and find a hidden cache of treasures.

In The Pandora’s Box Murders, Jennifer is given a puzzle box to solve but when the customer who provided it is found dead, Jenn knows that whatever is inside the locked receptacle could lead her to the killer and in Picture a Murder, the discovery of a photograph taken in the final moments of a man’s life suggest that his death may not have been down to natural causes.
