Kate Holmes
 Kate Holmes is the author of The Picker Who
Perished, a Too Good to be Threw Consignment Shop Mystery,
thanks to the impetus of Sleuthfest 2004 and her participation
in Naked Came the Flamingo. Her
Chapter 11 followed Barbara Parker's Chapter 10, and Kate
learned so much from her phone conversations with Barbara (most
of which took place with one of them in an airport!) On how to
keep the plot going, that Kate gathered her notes and finished
her light-hearted mystery. Picker was
published in June 2004.
 The
world's first-ever booksigning in a consignment shop took place
August 2-4. Kate sold 17 books in an hour and a half.

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, the police say it was an accident. But
did she fall? Or was she pushed because she was pushing the
powers-that-be in this seaside town? And why is the
oh-so-attractive Detective Tom Litwin hanging around?

"It
looks as if Kate Holmes has a winner in her book, THE PICKER WHO
PERISHED, and she doesn't even have to wait to find it on
consignment."
