Book Description:
Charlotte La Rue cleans houses in New Orleans, often in the wealthy Garden District. Having become friendly with Jeanne Dubuisson, who cares for an elderly mother, Charlotte tries to help out after someone kills Jeanne's well-known (but philandering) attorney husband. Unfortunately, his death echoes the unsolved murder of Jeanne's father some 15 years previously. Charlotte does a little sleuthing on her own, taking a few tips from a detective niece.

I loved this book and having lived in New Orleans pre-Katrina, not only did I recognize the Garden District setting, I recognized the types of characters. This was a cute cozy and a quick read, so I will continue the series. I also appreciate the fact the main character is a middle-aged single woman with a past she has overcome (in other words, she is REAL). The only reason they are not keepers is a total lack of bookcase space.

IN New Orlean's historic Garden District, life is all about attending the right parties, impressing the right people, and making lots of money. It's an attitude 59 yr old Charlotte has never really understood. She leads a quiet, simple life Business is booming at her housecleaning service- Maid for a day.
Charlotte doesn't mind polishing silver, scrubbing toilets,etc but she can't stand dealing with her rich clients' dirty laundry. And when it comes to the much-talked abut Dubuisson family, theres and awful lot of it- especially since Jackson Dubuisson was found murdered in his study.

Set in New Orleans, 59 year old Charlotte La Rue cleans houses and solves mysteries. She just can't stay out of other people's business and gets herself in messes, that of course she finds her way out.
