Lois Meade runs a cleaning service somewhere in England and reluctantly helps the local detective solve crimes. This is the second of a series involving each day of the week. Unlike Agatha Christie's Jane Marple, Lois gets actively involved in solving modern day crimes like the illegal drug trade and laundering money. I like how the author weaves the difficulties of crime-solving in with daily family life. Lois and husband Derek are average people just trying to make a good life for their children. Lois cannot walk away when crime comes close to home even though she does not especially like working with Detective Cowgill. These books are somewhere between cozies and crime thrillers without lots of gore.
