In St. Stanley, Virginia, wedding bells will soon be ringing for Maggie Gerber and Sheriff Sam Collins, but you can never tell. Maggie's lack of planning for the impending nuptials in a few short weeks shows her unprepared, overwhelmed, and beginning to panic. She has not found the perfect wedding dress, picked a caterer, a venue for the event, given any thought to flowers, favors, refreshments, or music. In fact, she has made no decisions. Her mother and mother-in-law-to-be are trying to help but they are getting discouraged by her lack of cooperation. As founder of the Good Buy Girls, Maggie is upset she can't wear the same dress she wore to the Madison Ball in December. Fellow members and BFF's, Ginger, Joanne and Claire who exist for thrift, savings, bargains and clipping coupons all say "NO".
Her beloved Sam is understanding, as usual. His immediate concern is where they will live. He has made an appointment with Marcy Haynes, the local Realtor. Today they are looking at the Dixon House, a huge lovely home in the Historical District that has been on the market for five years. After inspecting it together, Maggie is ready to buy. Sam, too, is impressed with the huge yard, the house layout and fireplaces. Their offer is accepted. It is a very good deal and Sam and Maggie are very pleased. Not the cat, Marshall Dillon. He disappears and when found accidentally locked in the basement, he yowls, flies past in a huge ball of fur, teeth bared, back up and into a corner. What is that all about?
Proudly showing her new home to her friends, Joann blurts out, "I heard this house was haunted." Excitement, intrigue and lots of secrets follow the happenings in the old, grand house especially when a skeleton is found in the root cellar in the basement, that's definitely not a bargain. Maggie is a spunky heroine and the sparks between her and Sam delight. A cozy mystery with plenty of fun characters, a celebration of friendships, laced with a combination of romance, humor and mystery. This is the fifth Good Buy Girls book and the finale in this series by best selling author Josie Belle. She writes true-to-life mysteries filled with twists and turns that keep you guessing. Best of all are the shops we get to visit and at the end of her book are great bargain hunting tips. You will love ALL SALES FINAL.
