Plot Summary:
Jennifer Shannon has a gift for finding rare treasures hidden in garage sales that she can resell at her consignment store, Rags to Riches. But her keen eye for finding valuables also gets her involved in the criminal investigations that happen at the very second-hand sales she frequents. When Jennifer’s friend and self-storage facility owner, Martin, turns up murdered just hours after auctioning off an abandoned storage unit full of unique items to Jennifer, she is immediately pulled into the case as a key eyewitness. Working with Detective Lynwood, Jennifer helps identify a disgruntled customer as the prime suspect while she and her business partner, Danielle, sift through boxes from the auction. As her husband, Jason, worries about her safety, Jennifer starts to get her head in the game after a break-in at her store and a run-in with Martin’s angry wife. Then, Jennifer and Danielle discover their new merchandise contains the sparkly evidence they needed all along to nail the surprising real culprit. They must race to save a life and put their own on the line. Will they succeed before time runs out?

My Thoughts:
I have always liked watching the Garage Sale Mystery movies, so I am glad that they are back.
Jennifer has a knack not only for finding a good buy at any sale she and Dani happen to find, but also, sadly, for finding dead bodies. Dani is good at making sales and talking customers into buying from their consignment shop. Dani is also good at keeping Jennifer from getting into too much trouble with her investigating. I love this duo a lot.
The other thing that I love is being reminded of how simple text messages looked and how the emojis have evolved over the years, from looking as simple as they do in the show to what they look like now. I love seeing Jennifer’s relationship with her family and how, even though Jason isn’t happy with what Jennifer is doing, he doesn’t try to stop her. Her relationship with her son is also awesome to see.
The killer had me guessing on who they could be, but I had a feeling of who did it. Mostly because of how they were acting around the two sleuths. I am impressed with how Jennifer figured out who did it, and with Dani, too.
Overall, I really liked this movie, and my mom and stepdad did too. He didn’t complain too much about us watching this movie again.
