The Case of the Angry Auctioneer

***The first in the new Auction House Mystery Series*** When Jasper Biggs, the former Candace Jasper Biggs Rowe, leaves behind her old name and her cheating husband, she sets out to build a new life for herself back in her Wisconsin hometown. She turns to her twin sister Cookie, a psychic medium, and her stepfather Jimmy Biggs, an angry and easily aggravated auctioneer, to help her start over. Soon she finds herself coping not only with the mysterious neighbors in the apartment downstairs, but also with the rigors of training to be an auctioneer under the vulture eyes of Jimmy who owns Biggs Auction House. Jasper has not long to marvel how her cranky stepdad made it Biggs in the cutthroat auction world before she's taken to the hoarder's house where Jimmy has tumbled to his death. Jasper keeps practicing her bid-calling, crowd control skills and knowledge of antiques, and learns to cope with her annoying and nearly invisible neighbors at home. Her twin's chats with dead people help. So does the companionship of two quirky but virile new love interests and the dumpster diving kitten who becomes her sidekick. But Jasper's nerves are fraying fast. A second suspicious death makes matters worse. In the end, Jasper brings justice to Forest Grove along with the fresh face and kindly attitude of a new woman auctioneer. Soon she will be ready for her next adventure.Get in and go, Jasper Biggs
