I just finished reading the second in this series, Death by Deep Dish Pie.  It started out a bit slowly, but once I got through a couple chapters I was hooked.  The main character, Josie Toadfern runs a laundromat and cleaning service in the little town of Paradise, Ohio.  She is also one of the best stain removal experts in the country (she says) and the book contains some great tips on stain removal.  Right off the bat I can't imagine how someone would think up this particular background.  I've reposted the book and someone asked for it within an hour.  So I thought I would request some of the other books in the series.  They all had to go on my wish list!  This is a great, funny, clean cozy series and I would recommend it to anyone who likes cozy series. 

Anybody else read any of these books?  What did you think?

I was just at Borders today and was able to pick up all the rest of the series!  I'm so excited - as soon as I finish them I will post them!

Yes, I've read the entire series and enjoyed them. Some are better than others.
