Trivia
Second-to-last of the Garage Sale Mystery films due to Lori Loughlin being indicted in March 2019 for bribing admissions officials so her children could be admitted to the University of Southern California. Hallmark announced on March 14, 2019 it was no longer working with Loughlin and had stopped development of any productions involving her.

Goofs
At about the 30-minute mark when Jennifer and Det Linwood were speaking w/the auctioneer, he claimed there was no record of the suspect because he never paid for/picked up the item he had purchased. Because the auction required paddles to make a bid on an item, there would have been a record of who had that number.

The old piano roll blues

Lori Loughlin and her quest for antique treasure takes her to an estate auction of a 92 year old former diplomat who dies and at that age who would seriously question his passing. He was from Austria and in his time in America was a noted philanthropist and patron of the arts.

A very different picture of the deceased emerges as we learn he used his dipomatic position to steal and smuggle a lot of artistic treasure the Nazis lifted from countries they occupied. But where is all that loot now?

It would be quite a haul for our intrepid antique dealer/detective. But even Loughlin realizes this over her head. She also has a detective from Europe on the case as well as a granddaughter seeing her inheritance stolen.

It all comes down to a lot of interest in a player piano that was part of the estate that Loughlin acquired. Lots of interest in that particular antique.

An interesting conclusion and you'll kick yourself when you realize the perpetrator is the only one who could have had the knowledge to make a murder seem like a natural death.
