Description
In New Orleans' historic Garden District, life is all about attending the right parties, impressing the right people, and making the right amount of money (a lot!) It's an attitude fifty-nine-year-old Charlotte La Rue has never really understood. She leads a quiet, simple, practical life—and it suits her just fine. Business is booming at her housecleaning service, Maid-for-a-Day—and in her down time, she loves reading mystery novels and hanging out with her parakeet, Sweety Boy. Everything's perfect. Well, almost everything. . .
Charlotte doesn't mind polishing silver, scrubbing toilets, or dusting bookcases—but she can't stand dealing with her rich clients' dirty laundry. And when it comes to the much-talked-about Dubuisson family, there's an awful lot of it—especially since Jackson Dubuisson was found murdered in his study.
Now this exclusive enclave is abuzz with all kinds of gossip—and some very sinister speculation. A chatty socialite keeps hinting that Jackson's extra-marital affair may have been the death of him. His mother-in-law—who's quite possibly senile—has revealed more of the Dubuisson family's secrets than Charlotte ever wanted to know. And then there's his widow, Jeanne. Charlotte refuses to desert her in her time of need—but suspects she may have something to hide. One thing is certain: someone wanted Jackson dead—and that someone is not coming clean. . .
Surrounded by possible suspects and hounded by a tenacious police detective, Charlotte wishes she could stick to her own policy of staying out of clients' personal business. Problem is, she's never been able to walk away from a mess. And this is the biggest one she's ever seen. . .
