Organizing expert Charlotte Adams loves nothing more than to
help people organize and declutter their work and living
spaces. With one possible exception—solving mysteries in the
small town of Woodbridge. In fact, Charlotte has become
notorious for her sleuthing abilities and she still suffers
from flashbacks due to her latest misadventure. So when
motherly Fredelle Newhouse approaches Charlotte with a
sensitive organizational job, Charlotte agrees to take on
the touchy task. No murders there, she thinks.
But Charlotte's work on the job starts off badly when the
person who is the object of the office cleanup campaign
almost runs her down. After seeing the disaster that's Barb
Douglas' desk, Charlotte can tell her assistance is sorely
needed. Unfortunately no real work can be done until Barb is
located. Turns out she disappeared after almost creaming
Charlotte with her car. When the police show little interest
in the missing woman, Charlotte takes it upon herself to try
to locate Barb and to learn any information about her.
Why has Barb disappeared? Is she in fact who she claims to
be? What is going on at Quovadicon? Does the recent murder
of an unidentified man bear any relation to the missing
Barb? Do the Woodbridge police have a single officer with
more than one working brain cell? Will Charlotte escape with
her life this time? And what is going on with her so-called
best friend, Jack Reilly?
DEATH LOVES A MESSY DESK is a warm cozy with a cast of
engaging characters. This book is the fourth in this series,
so readers may find it more enjoyable to read the books in
order. But I was able to follow the story without having
read the previous books. Ms. Maffini has written a cutesy
story with organizing tips included. Give this one a try if
you're a fan of cozy mysteries.
Nothing makes Charlotte Adams happier than freeing people
from clutter—and she boasts a waiting list of sloppy
clients. Her free time has been taken up solving fatally
untidy cases. Her latest task: a woman has hired her to
organize a coworker’s hopelessly cluttered desk. But when
the miss behind the mess goes missing, workplace tempers
rise. Now, Charlotte must open a brand-new folder—one she
hopes won’t be filed under M for murder.
