Publisher Description
“[A] whip-smart amateur detective . . . An enticing fourth series installment thanks to an engaging cast” from the author of Dead Storage (Kirkus Reviews).
Professional organizer Maggie McDonald manages to balance a fastidious career with friends, family, and a spunky Golden Retriever. But add a fiery murder mystery to the mix, and Maggie wonders if she’s finally found a mess even she can’t tidy up . . .
With a devastating wildfire spreading to Silicon Valley, Maggie preps her family for a rapid evacuation. The heat rises when firefighters discover the body of her best friend Tess Olmos’s athletic husband—whose untimely death was anything but accidental. And as Tess agonizes over the whereabouts of her spouse’s drop-dead gorgeous running mate, she becomes the prime suspect in what’s shaping up to become a double murder case. Determined to set the record straight, Maggie sorts through clues in an investigation more dangerous than the flames approaching her home. But when her own loved ones are threatened, can she catch the meticulous killer before everything falls apart?
Praise for the Maggie McDonald Mysteries
“Abundant with friendly canine companions, from-the-hearth cooking, and banter between long-time friends, this novel serves up a chilling mystery warmed by likable characters and enviable setting.” —KRL News & Reviews
“Bay Area residents will enjoy the heavy local angle.” —San Jose Mercury News
“The setting is delightful . . . Maggie herself, in my opinion, is a major selling point for this new series, aside from the added value of her organizational advice.” —MiddleSisterReviews.com
Customer Reviews
Mary Feliz’s Disorderly Conduct
As the song goes, “It doesn’t rain in
sunny California” much to the dismay
of the McDonald family. They are in
the process of putting into action their
emergency crisis plan as a Forest Fire
is heading toward their home in
Orchard View.
Max and Maggie with their two sons
(Brian and David), their golden retriever
(Belle) and two marmalade-colored
cats (Holmes and Watson) are going
to stay with friends.
What they did not expect was to arrive
at their friends and be involved in heart
wrenching drama. It seems Patrick Olmos
is missing. Neither his wife, Tess or son,
Teddy have heard from him or been able
to contact him.
Then the unthinkable happens, a dead
body is found in an area where Patrick
goes running. Soon Tess is arrested for
her husband’s murder after certain
evidence seems to point to her guilt.
Time for Maggie and her cohorts to step
up to prove Tess’s innocence. The
There is more going on in them there hills
than meets the eye!!!
A well plotted murder mystery with several
sub plots to keep the reader attention.
I thought the characters were all artfully
created, well defined, colorful, quirky with
agendas of there own.
I throughly enjoyed the tips at the beginning
of each chapter from the “Notebook of
Maggie McDonald Simplicity Itself Organizing
Services”. Plus at the end there is what I
consider a good reference list of resources
to be able to get information and materials.
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.
My opinion is voluntary and my own.
