The horrors of Good Housekeeping meet the tongue-in-cheek of Clue....
Edith Grant is the woman you call when you need a stain removed, a drain unplugged, or a body stashed in the broom cupboard. Hard work is how Edie became the preferred house cleaner of SoCal’s most prominent murderers. Keeping her mouth shut is why her services have been preferred for so long.
When Edie finds herself tightening a PC cord around the neck of her employer, she’s no longer just the hired help. Now she’s watching her tidy network of steady employment collapse in one bloody, sticky mess. She's being blackmailed and filling in for an AWOL maid while trying to stop a sinister plot that may have international ramifications—never mind side-stepping Ventura Police Detective Adam Briggs.
Adam Briggs is pretty sure Edith Grant knows where the bodies are buried. She’s got to because no one makes $30,000 a day cleaning toilet seats. But every time he gets close to nailing her (professionally speaking), she does something to throw him off the scent. For someone who wields a teapot like a nanny, Edith Grant sure makes him want to break all the rules. How can a woman with a cat named Darling be tied up with all the wrong people?
Book 2 in The Directory series...
THE MOVER
Venture Police Detective Alita Perkins is obsessed with tracking down the so-called ‘Movers’ her partner’s ex-convict girlfriend Edith Grant used to work with. (It's complicated.)
Then, a break in the case leads Alita to hotshot container shipping mogul Julian Cruz. His seductive personality has apparently dealt him a fruitful hand, but that much power is usually obtained only one way: illegally. Her partner thinks she’s too cynical for a Gen Zer, but growing up with three brothers will do that. It’s looking likelier by the day Alita's going to have to take down Cruz—even if it means torching her own career.
Alita Perkins is trouble. If Julian doesn’t watch it, he’s going to find himself handcuffed across the hood of her car. Which could fun if she didn’t check all the wrong boxes. Direct, aloof, and more than capable of bringing him to justice, Alita's the last woman he needs sniffing around the family business. One whiff of what he does to keep things in the black, and he’s sunk. So why the hell is he so taken by her Wonder Woman Veritas et Justitia bullshit?
