Garage Sale Mysteries: Picture a Murder
"When Hallmark Movies Turn Every Yard Sale Into a Crime Scene!"

If you’ve ever wandered through a garage sale looking for a good deal and not stumbled upon a murder mystery, congratulations—you’re not living in a Hallmark movies universe. But for Jennifer Shannon (Lori Loughlin), antique store owner and part-time detective, every secondhand treasure hunt comes with a side of crime. And in Garage Sale Mysteries: Picture a Murder, it’s a framed photograph that might just be worth more than a thond words… or at least a few police reports.

When Jennifer acquires an old camera and develops its forgotten film, she doesn’t get adorable vintage snapshots—she gets evidence. Because in Hallmark movies, every innocent hobby (photography, knitting, baking) inevitably leads to solving crime. Naturally, instead of letting the police handle things (where’s the fun in that?), Jennifer dives into yet another investigation, balancing family life, her antique store, and a casual murder mystery with the grace of someone who clearly lives for this.

While not one of your classic Hallmark holiday movies (there’s no Christmas tree, but there is plenty of sleuthing), it still delivers all the cozy, small-town charm you’d expect—just with a little more danger and fewer gingerbread cookies. As always, Jennifer outsmarts the cops, puts herself in mild peril, and somehow still manages to run a thriving business. Is she the most competent investigator in town? Absolutely. Does she need to start charging for her detective services? Also yes.

Final Verdict:
If you love Hallmark movies but wish they included more film developing and fewer predictable snowstorms, Garage Sale Mysteries: Picture a Murder is your perfect blend of cozy and crime. Just don’t be surprised if your next flea market find has you questioning its backstory. 🕵️‍♀️📸🔍
