Book Description:
From Bakelite jewelry to jadeite dishes, antiques "picker" Jane Wheel has a knack for hunting down vintage collectibles. And when a Chicago estate sale yields a room full of dusty tavern memorabilia, she hits pay dirt once again. Most of this "dead guy's stuff" is just perfect for decorating her parents' newly renovated bar & grill in Kankakee, Illinois. Most of this stuff...except for the finger pickled in a jar of formaldehyde.
Uncertain what to do about the mysterious "body part," Jane asks former homicide detective Bruce Oh to see if the detached digit is connected to a crime. Meanwhile she is carting her tavern treasures down to Kankakee unaware that her hometown's darkest secrets are buried in her boxes...or that her talent for finding things will lead to a corpse, a kidnapping, and a chilling threat to those she loves most....

Enjoyable book. I liked this one better than the first one, "Killer Stuff."

This book was not what I expected. I was looking for more romance and this book had very little. That said, it has a good detective story and Jane Wheeler is an interesting character. If you are looking for a "Miss Marple" type of detective story this book is for you

If you like mysteries and you love collecting vintage things - this book is a winner!!!
Jane Wheel has a knack for hunting down vintage collectibles and the author talks about them - a lot! She also has a knack for being in exactly the right spot when a body turns up. The author also talks about them - a lot!
Fast, easy, entertaining reading. I plan to read Sharon Fiffer's other two books.

The 2nd book in the "picker" series by Sharon Fiffer. Liked the first one a little better but still worth following the seires.
