Title: Crime & Clutter Author: Cyndy Salzmann Publisher: Howard Books ISBN: 1-58229-644-8 Genre: Inspirational/Mystery
Mary Alice has secrets she’s never told – and a storage unit she’s paid rent on for six months because she can’t face what’s inside. She’s even kept the storage unit secret from her friends, because she’s the Clutter Queen, the Domestic Diva.
Unfortunately, one of her friends see her at the storage unit, and then the secret is out. When Mary Alice is forced to open the unit, she discovers her father’s beloved 1963 VW minibus—and a whole lot of secrets. Will Mary Alice be able to get past the pain of the past?
Crime & Clutter is the second book in A Friday Afternoon Club Mystery series, though it easily stands alone. It was nice to reconnect with the members of this group, though I would have liked to have been brought up to date with one romance that began in the first book. There are some really yummy sounding recipes in this book (and some that sound a bit unique, that I don’t think we’ll try.)
There is a secondary story beginning in the middle of Crime & Clutter that is quite interesting. In fact, that secondary story kept the story going when the main story began to sag in the middle of the book. The mystery element isn’t really very strong, the reader can pretty well guess where the book is going the whole time. All in all, Crime & Clutter is a really good read and will keep fans clammering for more in the series. $13.00. 288 pages.
