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
