The Misadventures of the Laundry Hag: Skeletons in the Closet Wild Child Publishing

Author: Jennifer L. Hart
Publisher: Wild Child Publishing
REVIEW:
Maggie accepts a job with the local posh-knob, Mrs. Kline, cleaning her vast, mansion-like house. Mr. Kline is a bit of an oddball and collects memorabilia from times past, like iron maidens…
However, Mr. Kline faces murder charges, and Maggie is his only alibi. The detective in charge of the case has the idea that Maggie is doing naughties with Mr. Kline, hence her being his alibi. It's lucky Maggie's husband trusts her!
The detective enlists Maggie's help in finding information out about the people who move in the same circles as Mr. Kline, so she broadens her cleaning business and cleans house for several other people. Not only does she meet new folks and fill a void in her life, but she employs first a pregnant teen and then an elderly man.
However, twists and turns abound, and what is at first an apparently 'clean-cut' murder case, turns into something rather more sinister. With an excellent climax, The Misadventures of the Laundry Hag: Skeletons in the Closet is, quite simply, a must read for all people who love a good mystery and a jolly good laugh.
A really enjoyable read—laugh out loud funny—one that I'm glad to have had the privilege to review. I look forward to more of Ms. Hart's work. Excellent!

She's serving up mayhem in the Magic City.... FINAL STRAW  Dishing out bad news is Jackie Parker's job. So when her boss grabs her assets one time too many, she serves him her notice and hopes he chokes on it. There must be a better way for a certified process server to make a living in Miami than working for a lousy lecherous lawyer. Whatever Jackie decides, her number one priority is to spend time with her husband, Luke, preferably without his brother Logan--AKA the Dark Prince. FINAL WARNING Despite Logan's objections, Luke asks her to join forces in their own property management team, Damaged Goods. Drawing the line between professional and personal lives proves challenging, especially when Logan serves her an ultimatum--tell Luke the truth about what really happened the night they first met, or he will. Sexual harassment is looking better and better. FINAL NOTICE Fester Gomez is three months behind on the rent for his pricey South Beach condo and Damaged...

  Have you checked out my new series yet? This is a duology (a finished series of just two books) in the up and coming Women's Paranormal Fiction genre, meaning that the heroine is over forty. Since I'm over forty myself, I have to admit a certain, ahem, bias to the thought of older women becoming empowered with magic and getting into mischief.  Book 1, Over the Faery Hill , is discounted on Amazon for the entire month of April. Get it for just $2.49 at Amazon.com or Amazon CA !

From my WIP, new mystery series Country Fried City Girl. My heroine, Andy, has a full plate dealing with her aging and extremely stubborn grandfather. “Stop talking like that. You’re an educated man, for cripes sakes. And yes, you are going to church because I want to make sure God doesn’t put you on his shit list. Good Christians go to church after they find dead bodies in their houses.” Pops sent me a skeptical look and muttered, “Pretty sure that ain’t in the Bible.” “Well since you were there when it was written, you would know.”
