The Picker
Who Perished
A Too Good to be Threw Consignment Shop Mystery
by
Kate Holmes
When Wendy Sam Miller, the
owner of Too Good to be Threw, a consignment shop in sunny Sarasota Florida,
finds her best friend and picker dead at the foot of her steps, the police say
it was an accident. But Ilene was an ex-dancer, a graceful woman. Did she
fall... or was she pushed because she was pushing some powers-that-be in this
seaside town?
"She
didn’t work for anyone, she was a picker."
"You’ll
have to explain that to me."
I took him out onto the
sales floor and showed him some things Ilene had brought in and I could
see the look in his eyes: Who would want to deal in secondhand stuff?
Immediately
I disliked him. Secondhand stuff is my life. It has supported me for
years, I like turning one man’s trash into you-know-what, and I
actually prefer used to new. Those whose imagination is so lacking that
only new and shiny will do are distinctly lesser beings as far as I’m
concerned. Shame. The way his hair curled on his neck had begun to
appeal to me.
