Organize Your Corpses
Author: Mary Jane Maffini
Charlotte Adams moves back to her hometown in Upstate New York after her life implodes. She wants to start over, establish her career as a professional organizer and just re-focus. But chaos follows her. She discovers her first client dead, squashed by clutter in an old family mansion.
This first book in the Charlotte Adams Mystery series is entertaining and enjoyable. I like the basic premise, the characters and the setting. My favorite characters? Charlotte's two dachshunds, of course! The plot moves along at a nice pace. There is plenty of investigation, clues and surprises! Charlotte isn't a bad amateur sleuth. The side characters are fun, especially Jack. Sally is a bit annoying....but I get the idea she is supposed to be a bit much. Overall, a nice start to a cozy mystery series. I liked the sprinkling of humor -- not too much....just the right amount.
Mary Jane Maffini also writes as Victoria Abbott (with her daughter Victoria).
I will definitely be reading more of this series!
