Business has been going well for professional organizer
Charlotte Adams since she moved back to her hometown. She
has reconnected with her high school best friend (and new
momma), Detective Pepper Monahan, and is happy to be around
her old gang of friends, "the misfits".
Charlotte's newest client is an old acquaintance (and
nemesis) of her mother's, Lorelei Beauchamp. A former
model, Lorelei is known for her fabulous clothes. She
has seven over-flowing closets that desperately need
Charlotte's organizing touch. The recent loss of her
daughter Anabel has Lorelei practically paralyzed with
depression and it's hard for Charlotte to get any
cooperation from her. When Lorelei tells Charlotte that
she believes that Anabel was murdered, Charlotte knows that
she'll be doing a little investigating into the accident,
if just to set her client's mind at ease. Meanwhile,
Pepper's husband, policeman Nick Monahan, has
been acting strangely. When Pepper is attacked and all
evidence points to Nick, he disappears; leaving Charlotte to
figure out how his odd behavior ties in with all the other
strange things that have been happening around town.
With CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL, the fourth book in her Charlotte
Adams Mystery series, author Mary Jane Maffini once again
delights her audience with the lively lifestyle of her
super-organized heroine. I love how she brings
readers up to date with Charlotte's landlord/would-be
boyfriend Jack, those lively puppies Truffles and Sweet
Marie, and the others who rotate around Charlotte's
universe. The storyline is deliciously suspenseful and the
addition of organizing tips scattered throughout the book
are informative and helpful. CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL is a real
treat to read for any cozy mystery fan.
Fourth in the series featuring organizer and amateur
sleuth Charlotte Adams, following Death Loves a Messy
Desk. A friend hires Charlotte to organize her closets and
prove that her daughter's accident was murder. And now
Charlotte has to get a house-and her suspects-in order.
