Synopsis
A retired schoolteacher—and yes, daughter of a Fitzgerald fan—Daisy Buchanan has found her calling in the village of Millbury, Pennsylvania. While her husband endlessly renovates their old house, Daisy happily presides over Sometimes a Great Notion, a quirky shop that sells sewing bits and bobs, antiques, and jewelry.

Daisy has her eye on an antique dollhouse and a classic Singer Featherweight at the local auction—until her friend and mentor, auctioneer Angus Backstead, is led away in handcuffs. It appears he bashed in the head of a drinking buddy who stole a set of fancy fountain pens. Daisy’s sure the sprightly old-timer couldn’t have done it. But she soon learns Angus had more than a few enemies…including the detective on the case.

As Daisy seeks the truth, she also uncovers some leads: a disgruntled heiress hunting for the pens, two farm boys with a grudge against the deceased and the accused, and a twisted scam that entangled the dead man. But if Daisy can’t stitch together the bidder truth soon, Angus will be going once, going twice…gone forever.

My Review:

I liked Going Through The Notions. Daisy had a shop called Going Through the Notions and she was friends with Angus and his wife Betty. They had taken her under their wing and showed her around town when she first moved to town. Angus was arrested for killing his friend Jimmy - over some pens. They had been out drinking the night before and Angus blacked out. Jimmy brought him home and was found dead the next day. Daisy knew her friend couldn’t do that - she needed to prove that he didn’t do it. Along the way it the book told about how Daisy got items for her shop by going to auctions and yard sales. You will need to read Going Through the Notions to find out what happened to Angus. I think this was a great first in the series book.

I received a Copy of this book from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for the review, and the review is honest and my responsibility.
