Sarah Winston is called to Miss Belle’s huge home to get her extensive collection of mystery books ready for sale. Starting in the attic, Sarah discovers a suitcase filled with manuscripts that appear to be long lost stories written by Ernest Hemingway. Leaving a surprised Miss Belle with the manuscripts Sarah heads back to work only to hear a noise from her employer and discovers Miss Belle on the floor and the suitcase missing. She pursues the Kay,the maid, across the woods and finds her dead with the suitcase once again missing. There is also an extremely rare copy of a Hemingway book that is hidden in the house, and everyone is dying to get their hands on it. And there are too many suspects.
One of the best plots in the Sarah Winston garage sale mysteries.

An absolutely amazing adventure. I have been a big fan of Sherry Harris' Sarah Winston series, but this volume is far and away the best. When Sarah Winston asked to inventory Belle's large book collection and conduct a sale to benefit the local library she has no idea that it will lead to murder, mayhem and mystery including the famous lost Hemingway stories, limited first editions, literary treasure hunters to name only some of what falls her way. With her usual cast of friends she manages to get to the bottom of the situation and put things to right. This is a true one sit page turner and I loved it from beginning to end. Bravo to Sherry Harris!
