Dust Bunnies & Dead Bodies

Dust Bunnies & Dead Bodies by Janis Thornton Summary:  When it comes to murder, forget the butler . . . it’s the housekeeper who knows where the bodies are buried. Small-town newspaper editor Crystal Cropper can't resist a good mystery. Cleaning lady Gertie has a knack for sweeping skeletons out of closets—making her one of Crystal’s best informants. So when Gertie lands in the hospital, courtesy of an unknown assailant, Crystal starts snooping. The trail of dirt and gossip leads right to the doorsteps of several prominent local families—and to a decades-old murder and the disappearance of a young boy . . . Angie's Comments: Local author Janis Thornton did a great job with this book! It was fast paced, well written, and had many twists that I didn’t expect! It kept me guessing up right to the very end. This is Thornton’s debut book (which I wouldn’t have guessed). Crystal’s personality really comes through, as do all of the characters. I look forward to the next mystery featuring Crystal. Recommended for readers of cozy mysteries.     Request this item
