Sarah Strange Returns As Dani In Lori Loughlin’s Return

Lori Loughlin is back as Jennifer Shannon in Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes The Stage. What about the other OG actors.

Firstly, Sarah Strange is back as Dani, Jennifer’s best friend. This best pals relationship is what so many Sleuthers love about this series. Oftentimes, Dani is into a New Age or health kick. This could mean trying a kale smoothie, or balancing chakras. Or, Dani dates the killer or the red herring!

This friendship offers some laughs and an opportunity for lightheartedness in between looking for clues during an intense murder investigation.

Sarah has goest starred in a couple of Hallmark productions including Curious Caterer: Forbidden Fruit, and Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Death At The Diner.
