Description

Maggie thought the hardest part of the job would be the wine stains. She didn't count on the bloodstains.

Maggie Phillips is a stay-at-home mom with a mounting pile of bills and a talent for scrubbing out the toughest spots. When her wealthy new neighbors offer her a side-hustle to clean their mansion, she sucks up her pride and grabs the bleach.

The house is stunning, the paycheck is better, and the husband? Well, he's a special kind of creepy. Mr. Kline collects medieval torture devices—because nothing says welcome to the neighborhood like an Iron Maiden.

When Mrs. Kline turns up dead, the police zero in on the creepy collector. And Maggie is his only alibi.

Sandwiched between a murder investigation and a man who knows far too much about the Spanish Inquisition, Maggie must uncover the truth before she becomes the next relic in his collection.

It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta resolve it.

Skeletons in the Closet is book 1 in the Misadventures of the Laundry Hag women's sleuth mystery series. If you like a sassy heroine with a foul mouth, a huge heart, and who never minds her beeswax, you will love Maggie Phillips. Buy Skeletons in the Closet and scrub out crime today!

    It’s rare that I can’t figure out “who dunnit”, which is enough to rate 5 stars alone, but the characters are so full of personality, wit and energy they seem real. Perfectly constructed!! I can’t wait to read more, and already told my sister to look this one up!
  • More entertainment than a barrel of monkeys

    For starters, the heroine of the story, Maggie, is certifiably nuts. I was a fan of her ever patient husband until he went off on Maggie’s brother at the end. As for the killer? I don’t buy the reason he murdered 3 people. It’s like the author had no idea and picked his name out of a hat. I won’t be buying the remaining books in the series.
  • Good mutders and great characters.

    I laughed out loud at some of the visuals produced with your words. Some of it was far fetched but your cast of characters was very well developed. I enjoyed the book. Thanks
