Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing me with an ARC of this book. I truly enjoyed reading it, and, even though I had not read the previous entries in the series, I was able to understand the dynamics between the characters. I liked the main character, although her inability to cook is pitiful. On a more positive note, I like the way she interacted with the other characters, and she was reasonable in how she was gathering clues for the investigation. I am really curious about her new neighbor, and the history between the two of them. The author built two story lines really well, and I wanted to know more about Alicia's murder, and the mysterious man who pretended to be somebody else. Great read!

Sell Low, Sweet Harriet was a fun and entertaining cosy mystery with three dimensional characters and a great storyline with some twists and turns. Also, it was a bit fun to see a main character in a cosy mystery mess up the cooking big time as I've read some cosy mysteries with excellent cooks earlier.

SELL LOW, SWEET HARRIET by Sherry Harris is the eighth book in the Sarah Winston Garage Sale cozy mystery series. The story takes place in Massachusetts and while the books can be read stand-alone, I believe it is best to read them in order to fully appreciate the main character’s growth over time.

Sarah Winston has a garage sale business where she helps homeowners with pricing, organization and much more. She has a new client, the daughter of a couple who recently died in an accident overseas. Since they traveled extensively, their house is full of items from around the world. When an intruder breaks in and a hidden camera is found, the job becomes dangerous. In addition to this, Sarah is asked by Special Agent Bristow and Ellington police officer Scott Pellner, to listen, observe and report back on any information she finds regarding a murder at the nearby Air Force base. As a former military spouse she still has friends on base and volunteers at the base thrift store.

I discovered this series in October of 2018 when I was able to purchase the first five books in the series at a friends of the library book sale. It became my favorite cozy mystery series. I did not realize that I had missed books six and seven, but when I saw this one, I knew I wanted to read it.

Sarah Winston is a likeable main character that feels real and three-dimensional with her own distinct flaws and virtues. Her goals are always clear and with believable motivations. The story is engrossing, well-paced, and insightful with several twists and turns. Since the story takes place both on the air force base and in the nearby small town, it brings an unusual setting to a cozy mystery.

Overall, I enjoyed this well-written novel and recommend the series to those that enjoy cozy mysteries and yard sales or estate sales. This is the sixth book that I have read by this author and I am already looking forward to reading the other two in the series that I have not read.

Thanks to Kensington Books and Sherry Harris for a digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley and the opportunity to provide an honest review. Opinions are mine alone and are not biased in any way.

Sell Low, Sweet Harriet is the eighth book in the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery series written by Sherry Harris. Ms. Harris provides enough character background that this steadily paced book can be read as a standalone. The storyline is well-plotted, with twists and turns, well developed and affable the characters, and no adult language, graphic violence, or sexually explicit situations. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading well-crafted cozy mysteries.

Sarah Winston lives in Ellington, Massachusetts, and loves garage sales. She manages a virtual garage sale website, provides professional services to people having garage sales, and volunteers at the local military base’s thrift shop. She loves searching through used items and finding treasures. When a young woman, Alicia Arbas, is murdered on Fitch Air Force Base, the authorities have suspects, but no one stands out as the guilty party. Sarah is quite surprised when Special Agent Bristow gave her a thirty-day pass to enter the base rather than for the couple of hours she expected and is shocked when he tells her that he and Scott Pellner, a police officer for the Ellington Police Department, need her help. Of course, all they want her to do is listen, observe, and report what she discovers to them, but Sarah finds it difficult to stay within those boundaries. Sarah’s newest garage sale client is Jeannette Blevins, whose parents recently died in a tragic accident involving a faulty gas line in Senegal. They were both retired CIA agents, and their home is filled with unique objects, including art and artifacts. Jeannette’s brother, Troy, shows up unannounced, saying his wife decided she wanted some of the carvings, masks, and other things. Sarah hears a crash in the back of the house, where Troy is selecting things to keep, and she finds him unconscious on the floor in the ransacked office. When Jeannette tells Sarah the injured man isn’t her brother, Sarah is determined to locate the man, who disappeared from the hospital, and figure out what he was looking for.

A garage sale in January is a rare sight, but when Sarah Winston hears from a client about one, she is thrilled. In Sell Low, Sweet Harriet by Sherry Harris, when Sarah is approached by the daughter of a deceased couple, Jeanette Blevins, she is stunned with the amount and quality of the items in the house. When Sarah learns the couple were retired CIA agents, she wonders what secrets she might find in the house. One thing she discovers is someone else wants to get into the house.

A witty, cleverly written mystery with loads f garage sale tips.

A well-written and engaging cozy mystery. I recommend it for an easy read on a cold day.

Sarah Winston is back in another garage sale adventure. The setting for this series is actually pretty interesting -- Sarah is a divorced military ex-wife who has started her own business staging and pricing garage sales in her small Boston suburb.

This time out she gets a client whose parents were ex-CIA and who were killed in an accident. Their daughter wants Sarah to go through and sort and value a houseful of exotic items they collected from their world travels. But the first day she is working there, an intruder claiming to be a relative breaks in, rifles through the office obviously looking for something, and is found unconscious with a head injury by Sarah.

And of course, there's also a murder. A military wife on base, where Sarah still has friends and volunteers at the base thrift shop, is found murdered. The military authorities, and one of the victim's friends, both ask her to help find out what happened.

Sarah is a very appealing and realistic character and I enjoy this series. This particular entry had some odd plot machinations and a few too many red herrings, but it didn't detract from the pleasure of spending some time with Sarah and her friends.

Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is the eighth book in the Sarah Winton Garage Sale mystery series by Sherry Harris.

This is my first foray into the world Harris has created and I am intrigued to say the least. This is a combo of garage sales, CIA/spies and military wives.
Sarah Winston takes you on a journey from page one. I can see how she gets herself in trouble so quickly. In this story Sarah is helping clean out the parent's house of a new client. When someone who claimed to be the client's brother showed up and caused a stir, Sarah knew she was in trouble. There was so many valuable items on site, it was no wonder thieves came calling.

This book is very complex in its structure and all the characters are all fully crafted and it feels like you are learning about them while talking with a friend.

I definitely need to learn more of the backstory of this series. I am so intrigued that I am planning to start this series at book one and read the first seven in 2020.

If you love a good cozy mystery, definitely check this one out. You won't be disappointed.

I received this ARC ( Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this title.

Sell Low, Sweet Harriet is the 8th book in the Sarah Winston Garage Sale series. Thank you to Net Galley and Kensington Publishing for a free advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
I found this book extremely well-written. This was my first time reading a book in this series, but I have already put the rest of the series on my to be read list.
Sarah Winston used to be a military wife. She still lives in the small town where the army base is located, but now she has a garage sale company. In this book, there are two mysteries; one involving a murder on the army base and the other is related to Sarah's thrifting business. I thought the author did a great job in camouflaging the murderer.
Another aspect I enjoyed immensely was Sarah's inability to cook. In many books, you may have as part of a character's description that they are an inept cook and little more. But Sherry Harris takes us through a recipe step by step showing us how Sarah screws it up.
All in all, I highly recommend this book.

Thanks NetGalley and @Kensingtonbooks for this advance copy in return for an honest review. For me The Garage Sale Mysteries have fast become on of, if not my favorite cozy mysteries. This is book 8 and we have a very comfortable set of characters from lead character Sarah Winston, to her DA boyfriend Seth, her landlady Stella, the military and civilian investigators and more. He we have a very fast-paced, and well plotted book that manages to solve a host of crimes in a decent manner - no sudden leaps of faith or plot. As always there is a military base involved in the crime, along with others. By now this poor Sarah Winston must wonder if all her clients are criminals. A military wife is dead, as well as two folks who worked for the CIA and died in Africa and whose daughter has hired Sarah to conduct a winter garage sale of their home. There is also our friendly mob guy who had his cheese store torched and all of which becomes part of a great big and fun book. Keep up the great work Sherry Harris!

With a combo of the military, CIA, and general garage sale craziness, Sarah is just asking for trouble which always manages to find her. Very entertaining and an enjoyable installment to the series.

Sarah Winston is still living up North even after getting her divorce and having her ex move to Florida. She is trying to further her garage sale business. Overall I enjoy this series but at times I find somethings hard to take; why does she stay in the cold, wintery North where she has no family, no husband and tentative when she could go anywhere? How does make a living off of running garage sales, which in the winter have to be far and few inbetween? These things don't make sense to me.
Some of what I find interesting in the story is the mention of the military base happenings. I am not in a military family, but have known some. I find the depictions of her struggles with the other women and their pettiness to be sad, and most likely to happen. The explanations of how important rank is within the military is interesting. It also makes me glad that I am not subject to that kind of constrictions. And that the spouses define their identity through the rank is also restricting and old-fashioned. The story does a good job of using these concepts to integrate into the mystery of the death of one of the military wives. This time, surprise, Sarah is asked by law enforcement to stick her nose into things and get some gossip. By doing so, she is able to help figure out "whodunniti"

Sell Low Sweet Harriet is the 8th installment in the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery series. I have not read all the books in this series but I was able to enjoy this and follow along very easily. It is January and typically Sarah does not have many garage sales going on but she lands an estate sale of couple who died in an accident while abroad. There is an imposter of a family member, the couple were former CIA and a missing camera and also a murder on the base make this a fast paced and engaging mystery. I really like Sarah and that she hires Harriet to help out when she has too much on her plate. This is a good series.

A well written story with great characters, and there are several mysteries packed into this book. The pace is also better this time, so it's an easy read and a very enjoyable story.

I received a free copy of SELL LOW, SWEET HARRIET (Book 8 of the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mysteries) by Sherry Harris in exchange for an honest review. Sarah Winston was delighted to organize an estate sale for a new client because business is slow due to cold, winter weather. When Sarah’s new client revealed the estate belonged to her parents who worked for the CIA and who died under mysterious circumstances, Sarah was intrigued. However, when several suspicious incidents occur relating to the estate sale, Sarah becomes worried that the estate sale may be a dangerous endeavor. Can she figure out what’s going on before it’s too late? At the same time, officers ask Sarah to aid them with investigating a murder at the nearby Air Force base, and a mobster has moved back into the apartment next door. It’s exciting times for Sarah!

I enjoyed this book and like the series. Sarah’s character keeps evolving and trying to improve herself. Also, the law enforcement officers are usually depicted as being generally competent. I recommend this book to fans of the series and to fans of cozy mysteries featuring murder, burglary, military bases, military spouse culture, and estate sales.

This is the 8th book in the Garage Sale Mysteries. I've only read the one before this but I still felt a bit
lost. There's quite a bit of back story that I haven't read and too many characters for me to follow. However, this is a good mystery with lots of suspense, and not just related to the murder. The author really captures MA, with the repeated references to Dunkin Donuts and Fluffernutters. The thing I really like about this series is the references to military base life. The base is a fascinating microcosm of society, with it's own unique politics, personalities, and problems. I look forward to returning to Ellington!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

This is only the 2nd book I've read in the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mystery series, but I enjoy it a lot. The premise itself is entertaining - a woman helps people sell their stuff by assisting with pricing items, listing them online (on occasion), and running garage sales and an online sale site. Each book follows Sarah as she plans for a garage sale and solves a mystery or two in the process.

This installment in the series features an estate sale at the home of former CIA agents. Sarah thinks that might be why someone broke into the house while she was there, and why someone later impersonated a family member of the deceased agents.

Meanwhile an acquaintance of Sarah's from the Air Force base is murdered and there's no shortage of suspects, from the husband to rival military wives to the strange sister.

Sarah is a great protagonist and her landlady is quirky and funny. There are neighbors, people associated with the garage sales, and military personnel that make up a large cast of characters. Any fan of cozy mysteries will enjoy this fun series.

I enjoyed this newest addition to the Yard Sale series. It seems that Sarah gets better at her investigating every time. The book is well-paced and doesn't have an slow spots. I liked that she was able to work in conjunction with investigators from the military and the regular police. #SellLowSweetHarriet #NetGalley

Excellent next book in an easy to read cozy series. Strong characters and a good woven story as Sarah tries to get the contents of a home owned by a pair of deceased CIA's agents ready for a garage sale. Someone else wants something in the house, and Sarah needs to find out what they want and who they are, and find out who killed a wife of a military man, and why. Along with her helper, Harriet, who has some secrets of her own, they get the contents ready for sale; find out the killer and along the way Sarah also has to deal with a neighbor who has someone ready to bump him off.

Sell Low, Sweet Harriet, the 8th book in A Sarah W. Garage Sale Mystery series hits all the right notes as a great mystery and an outstanding novel. Author Sherry Harris imbues the characters with depth and dimension that few people expect of a cozy mystery. Sarah's life and her relationships with other characters have been dynamic from the beginning. We have had the great experience of watching her grow into a stronger self-assured woman since her divorce. After years of devoting herself full time to her role as a military spouse the transition into a dating woman developing her own business has not been easy. Some of the choices she has made have surprised her as much as they have surprised the reader but we cheer her on through every step. Those unexpected decisions help keep the series fresh and keep the reader devoted to the series.

Even though I pre-ordered a copy of Sell Low, Sweet Harriet, I requested an ARC from NetGalley just because I couldn't wait. I always review books I love and I love all the books in this series. I was thrill to be approved.
