Thanksgiving with her fault-finding mother has Odelia Grey stewing in her own juices. But her husband's cousin Ina - who shows up to dinner alone with ugly bruises - clearly has it worse. Things quickly go downhill after Odelia's mother decides to extend her visit a few extra days to attend a storage auction with Ina, who owns a consignment shop. The day of the auction, the thrill of bargain hunting gives way to tragedy when Ina's husband is found inside a storage locker - dead.

"Odelia and her colorful family and colleagues are as quirky and appealing as those found in Sharon Fiffer's Jane Wheel series." - Booklist
