This has some serious flaws, but was nonetheless very entertaining, and I would probably read another in the series. Maggie is somewhat more of a doormat than I prefer, but that's pretty typical of cozies. Her worship of her ex-SEAL husband is over the top- I do not believe he is omni-competent, SEAL training or no. Pretty much all the characters were more sketches than individuals, but generally handled well. Also, I have never, ever heard of a real-life woman as dedicated to cleaning as Maggie is! It's set in MA, but lacks local color- it could be set anywhere just as easily. Still, I did enjoy it! The writing was generally lively, although I do wish more authors used "smirking" less, or at least more appropriately; if it's not a cat and it smirks, that's got a nasty edge. The plot was twisty, but awkwardly so. There was not enough nuance or foreshadowing to justify the final resolutions. Mildly recommended for cozy mystery fans.

HTML: Maggie Phillips hasn't had it easy. As the wife of retired Navy SEAL, and the adoptive mother of two little hellions, Maggie is constantly looking for ways to improve her family's financial situation. She accepts a cleaning position for her new neighbors (who redefine the term 'eccentric'), never imagining she will end up as the sole alibi for a man with a fascination for medieval torture devices when he is brought up on murder charges. While Maggie struggles to prove the man's innocence, her deadbeat brother arrives, determined to sell Maggie and Neil on his next great scheme and to mooch with a vengeance. If that isn't bad enough, her in-laws, (the cut-throat corporate attorneys) descend on the house, armed with disapproval and condemnation, for the family's annual Thanksgiving celebration. As the police investigation intensifies, Maggie searches for the killer among the upper echelon of Hudson, Massachusetts in the only way she canâ?? by scrubbing their thrones. Of the porcelain variety, that is... A really enjoyable readâ??laugh out loud funnyâ??one that I'm glad to have had the privilege to review. I look forward to more of Ms. Hart's work. Excellent!

Glad I didn't pay full retail for this one. The characters were banal, the plot rather tired, and the humor decidedly trite. It was worth the clearance sale price. ( )
