I may try one more book of this series. I think this book was a little better than the last one, but the jury's still out. I am getting a little tired of cleaning house and all of the "hon" this and "no, hon" that. I do wish we would move on from the expression "...thank you very much".

Okay, every once in a while you just need pure escape in a quick to read, I can solve that, mode with a main character who you can enjoy and relate to and that's when you can turn to Colley's Charlotte LaRue series. This maid of New Orleans (bad historical pun, but apt description) has yet to fail for cozy reading.

This was the first book I read of the series. It took a bit for me to get into it, but then I enjoyed the light read. I was a little out of the loop at the end, but liked it just the same.

This is a fun cozy mystery. Charlotte LaRue owns a maid service and gets tangled up in the lives of people she cares about, her own standards, memories and dreams of what life was/might be, and terror of getting old! A wonderful read.

I enjoyed this book. It seems there are others before this one in the series, but I didn't miss much. If there are more after this one I'll probably read them. Off I go to Amazon to check into it!

Every other thing the character thought or said revolved around her turning 60 soon. It was just too much focus on such a little detail.
