Description

Format: Paperback, 290pp. ISBN: 0140276157 Publisher: Penguin USA Pub. Date: April 1999 From the Publisher A brand-new Ellie Haskell mystery from the doyenne of malice domestic-"wickedly witty . . . outrageous plotting" (Chicago Sun-Times). For thirteen years, Dorothy Cannell, the award-winning author of The Thin Woman and The Widows' Club, has enchanted readers who relish Nancy Atherton, Carolyn Hart, and Diane Mott Davidson. Now she brings us her inimitable Ellie Haskell-heroine of the weight-loss wars and busy mother of twins-in a mystery that fizzes with deadly wit. Spring cleaning fever has Ellie nearly scrubbing the Merlin's Court chandeliers with a toothbrush. But when yet another member of the Chitteron Fells Charwomen's Association bites the dust, Ellie swaps scrubbing for sleuthing to find out who has more than dust bunnies and dirty dishes to hide. With Ellie and a madcap cast that includes her handsome husband Bentley, her feckless cousin Freddy, and caustic home helper Mrs. Malloy, The Spring Cleaning Murders is Cannell at her best. "If there's anybody funnier than Dorothy Cannell, I don't want to meet her until my sides stop aching."-Nancy Pickard
