Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Charlotte Adams is a professional organizer. Nothing is out of place in her closets-but her life's a mess. So she's dumped her cheating ex-fiancŽ, moved back home to Woodbridge, New York, and started making up to-do lists-some of which include solving the occasional murder.

Charlotte's new job has her digging through years of accumulated junk to find some important documents. Instead she finds her client, the meanest teacher in town, dead under a pile of the debris that plagued her. And there's no end to the list of suspects-starting with Charlotte herself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun New Series, November 24, 2007
This was a fun new series with an interesting cast of characters and a plot that left you guessing until the end.

I only had two complaints -- there were a number of errors in the book (mainly words being left out of sentences and spelling), and I don't feel like the animosity between Charlotte and Pepper was really ever explained. But I guess that's for later books.

Looking forward to the next installment!

5.0 out of 5 stars Organization and murder, November 15, 2007
Charlotte Adams has returned home to Woodbridge, NY, to set up shop as a professional organizer. She's just dumped her cheating ex-fiance, and although her closets are organized, her life is anything but.

When Miss Helen "Hellfire" Henley calls to hire her to organize Henley House, she accepts against her friend's protests because she made Charlotte's life a living hell back in high school at St. Jude's. When Charlotte arrives, she discovers Miss Henley wants her to find some important documents in the accumulated junk left. So instead of just tossing the junk, she's going to have to sort through each and every piece.

That night Miss Henley calls summoning her to Henley House. Charlotte does not go as she's busy. The next day Miss Henley is found murdered at the house. Charlotte feels responsible and begins investigating.

Plus Detective Sergeant Pepper Monahan was the lead. She was Charlotte's best friend in school, but they've had a falling out and Pepper has it in for her.

Can Charlotte make sense of the mess at Henley House while keeping Pepper from putting her in jail?

This is the first book I've read by this author. It won't be the last. This is a fabulous cozy series that is a fast, easy read. The characters are fun. I enjoyed the organizing tips because they were blended into the story wonderfully. The strife between Pepper and Charlotte added to the intensity.

I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars My intro to this new author has been......, January 17, 2008
a wonderful one while enjoying meeting all the characters in the first volume of her new series. Since other reviewers have explained the plot, etc., I would just like to say that I enjoyed this book to the extent that I will soon be the proud owner of all this author's other titles (not necessarily an easy-accomplished feat!).

Am I looking forward to volume 2--you bet!!

(Other favorite authors include: Carolyn Haines, Lee Child, Michele Martinez, Libby Hellman, Evan Marshall, Jan Burke,(just to name a few).
