Book Description:
There's no fun in dysfunctional Small-town laundress Josie Toadfern has her own fair share of dirty laundry -- namely the Toadfern clan! Ostracized from the family unit ever since her parents dumped eight-year-old Josie in a local orphanage, the stain-busting dynamo's stunned to find herself invited to crabby old family matriarch "Mamaw" Toadfern's Thanksgiving celebration -- and too curious to refuse. But an even bigger shock is waiting for her there: Josie's long lost mom and pop, blandly unapologetic and full of new -- probably illegal -- get-rich-quick schemes. And when a dead body is tossed into the already explosive chaos of bitter feelings, intra-family feuding, and incinerated turkey meat, Josie finds herself in the most uncomfortable position of having to prove her disreputable dad innocent of murder. But cleaning up messes is Josie's business. And sometimes blood is thicker than cranberry sauce -- and a much more difficult stain to eliminate.

It's Thanksgiving in Paradise, Ohio and all the dirty laundry in the Toadfern Family comes to be hung out to dry. Even the turkey on the table has an untoward end! This is one of the best I have read in the series. Filled with mystery after mystery, new characters to develop who answer some old, old, questions, one of those "I just don't want to put it down" books. Definately well worth reading! Enjoy!

This series is one I can't wait for the next one for me. I love Coy mysteries, and this one is her funniest, what with the Toadfern family Thanksgiving. Her nephew Guy, who is autistic and in an institution, is a nice sidebar to this whole series--and Ms. Toadfern's love and caring for him is very real. I don't much care for her boyfriend here, and you will see why. But Mamaw Toadfern's Thanksgiving is just what you could expect from an extended wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy disFUNctional family.

Really cute book starring a laundromat owner who sprinkles stain removal tips throughout the story. This is part of a series and I will definitely find the rest as it was a quick, enjoyable read (Josie's family is a true hoot!) yet the ending came from nowhere and was a total surprise.
