THE PORCHLIGHT FILES

The Junk Sale Murders2.jpg

When small-town florist Shelley Harper hosts a yard sale to clear out clutter, she expects a few bargains and maybe some gossip—not a box of evidence linked to a decade-old crime.

At first, the items seem odd but harmless: a dusty apron, a flash drive, a photo taken from her own yard. But when a human skull turns up and a stranger with too many secrets steps out of the shadows, Shelley realizes someone planted more than junk—they planted a trap.

Now, the sale is shut down, her shop’s under watch, and her quiet life is unraveling. With a missing girl’s name resurfacing and the sheriff’s badge beginning to tarnish, Shelley must decide how far she’ll go to uncover the truth… and who she can trust when the killer may be someone she’s known all along.

A cozy mystery with a twist of menace, The Junk Sale Murders is a story of forgotten things, buried secrets, and the danger of underestimating a woman who notices everything.
