    _**Mystery movie set at Lake Tahoe with Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman and Vera Miles**_ A woman from New York City (Barbara Eden) returns home to a small town by Lake Tahoe, but the townsfolk are strangely unfriendly. Larry Hagman plays her husband, Vera Miles her stepmother, John Rubinstein her stepbrother and Tyne Daly a young woman who has secrets to share. "A Howling in the Woods" (1971) is a small town mystery with some thrills at the end. Despite being a television production, the cast is noteworthy and the rustic Lake Tahoe locations are exquisite. Unfortunately, the contrived story is too drawn out and would’ve worked better at 74 minutes. It’s a worthwhile movie for the highlights noted as long as you don’t mind slow pacing and some artificial scripting, just don’t expect any werewolves. The movie runs around 1 hour, 35 minutes, and was shot at Tahoe City, Lake Tahoe and Universal Studios, Universal City, California. GRADE: C+/B-

Jennifer Shannon can always find a diamond in the rough, when it comes to garage sales, that is. Whether it's a new antique to sell at her consignment shop, an Atari game for her son or a piece of furniture for her handy husband Jason to refurbish, she has made a career out of her treasure hunting prowess. When a string of burglaries hits her town, Jennifer's keen eye for detail and her natural problem solving instincts even help her see the connection between these burglaries and local garage sales! Jennifer works with Detective Adam Iverson to investigate her theory that the perpetrators of the burglaries are fellow garage sale regulars. The case escalates to dangerous levels when Jennifer discovers the dead body of her friend. Even though the deceased's husband, Ben Douglas, finds nothing missing in their house, and the police label the death as accidental, Jennifer suspects that the death may be related to the burglaries.
