Air Force wife Ellie Avery is so good at organizing she’s
turned professional. Her tips on cleaning can send the
worst case of clutter packing, dust balls fleeing, and
nooks and crannies preening. But when a fellow military
wife turns up dead, Ellie tackles a different type of case—
murder...
Diaper bag over her shoulder and an adorable toddler
wriggling in her arms, Ellie Avery balances motherhood,
marriage, and her own business—Everything in Its Own Place—
with breezy aplomb. A maestro of organization, she sees her
life as an easy checklist that does not include the
untimely death of Penny Follette.
Unlike the police, Ellie isn’t convinced the death of Penny
Follette was suicide. But when a shocking message on her
answering machine confirms her suspicions, it’s an uphill
battle getting the officials to take her seriously. Then
another spouse is strangled, and someone tries to poison an
outspoken female pilot who believes sexism is alive and
well in the Air Force.
Poking about in closets and peeking through drawers, Ellie
hopes to find the common thread tying the crimes together—
not more dead bodies. And with her husband Mitch about to
be deployed in the “sandbox” (that’s the Mideast for us
civvies), she wants some quality time with her significant
other. As the schedule tightens and the mystery heightens,
Ellie’s out to prove home is not for killers!
