Book Description:
As her big 3-0 approaches, Josie Toadfern's life seems more or less wrinkle-free. Since the laundromat owner, stain removal expert, and confirmed snoop's local stain-busting column went regional, she's become a true small-town celeb. And now she's been asked to give a speech in honor of her deceased junior high school teacher, Mrs. Oglevee—even though Josie remembers finding herself in hot water with the dour disciplinarian on numerous occasions. But then the late educator's alleged long-lost daughter hands her a note claiming that Mrs. O was murdered. Suddenly more than unpleasant middle school memories keep Josie up nights, as her unauthorized investigation begins turning up some very interesting dirt. Mrs. O, apparently, was more than just a tight-lipped prude who ruled detention with an iron fist. And when an Oglevee relative ends up dead, Josie realizes she'll have to air all of the family's dirty laundry . . . or she'll be spending her thirtieth birthday removing bloodstains.

This 4th book in the Stain-busting mysteries is, imho, the best. The mystery is complex, has lots of humor, but best of all there is wonderful development of characters here. The characters of Josie, Sally, & Cherry give the story alot of it's humor, and they really grow through the book, you get to know them much better, and really start to care about them as individuals, they become important to you as you learn about them. They become friends. The characters of Caleb the Journalist, Randy, the carpenter and Deputy Dean are brought forth well too, and Josie's romantic life takes a little step forward. Excruciatingly slow as it may be. A really great cozy mystery and I would really recommend all the books in the series. You don't necessarily have to read them in order, but it helps.

Josie Toadfern is turning 30, and her friends Cherry and Sally are taking her to a New Year's Walleye Drop to celebrate. But before she leaves, a mystery pops up that has its roots in the town to which they're going. So naturally Josie decides to investigate.
