Sharon Fiffer: Lucky Stuff
This is really one of the loveliest cozy series around. Fiffer’s prose sparkles, and she knows how to tell a story. All her characters are wonderfully real people, very much like people you might actually know yourself. Fiffer’s main character, Jane Wheel, is uncharacteristically zen in this outing, which I found refreshing.
Jane is antiques picker and a fledgling private eye, and it’s her love of “stuff” that has propelled the series. Much like Fiffer herself who collects Bakelite, buttons, pottery and vintage potholders among other items, Wheel’s home and garage are packed to the rafters with her stuff.
