Professional cleaner Sky Taylor has become notorious in the
small town of Pigeon Cove. Unfortunately, it's not for her
superb cleaning but rather her knack for finding dead
bodies. Murder is the last thing on her mind while she's on
her first date with Alex Vega, the town's police chief. But
after a menagerie of animals comes parading through the
restaurant where they're dining, they learn that the town's
favorite veterinarian has been murdered.
Since no one at the crime scene speaks Spanish, Sky comes
along to translate for Dr. Gail Pilsner's young kennel
assistant, Orlando Rios. He claims three men broke into the
office, ransacking it and freeing the boarded animals.
Orlando's story has some holes in it so he's arrested for
murdering Dr. Pilsner. Sky doesn't believe that Orlando has
it in him to kill anyone, so she endeavors to aid his defense.
Who would want to kill Dr. Pilsner? Why was her office
trashed but no drugs stolen? Will the police chief ask Sky
out again after their disastrous first date? What's going on
with Sky's best friend, Chloe Edwards? Why is she sneaking
out of her B&B and driving off with a strange man? Will
Skiball, Sky's cat, be okay without Dr. Pilsner's loving vet
care?
NOTORIOUSLY NEAT is a charming mystery for cozy lovers.
Readers can understand this third book in Ms. Price's Grime
Solvers mystery series without reading the previous books.
This isn't the kind of story where readers can figure out
the killer and the motive for murder in advance. So just
enjoy the story and go along for the ride. Cleaning tips are
included throughout the book as a bonus.
Professional
cleaner Sky Taylor and her potential new beau— the town’s
police chief—are on their first dinner date when they’re
interrupted by a stampede of household pets running through
the restaurant. Someone’s murdered Dr. Gail Pilsner, Pigeon
Cove’s hugely popular veterinarian, releasing all the
critters boarded at her clinic.
Then when one of the
singers in a vocal group, the La Dee Das, is murdered, Sky
must uncover the link between the veterinarian and the
songbirds—before a killer finishes cleaning house.
