Description
Desperate Housewives meets Murder, She Wrote, in Lee Hollis’s new mystery series, where a housewife and a female private eye solve murders together in their small Maine town! Someone is trying to turn Portland High into a school for scandal with a gossipy website called Dirty Laundry. The latest target of ruinous rumors is newly elected PTA president Sandra Wallage. After a heated meeting with outraged parents, Sandra runs into fellow school mom and private investigator Maya Kendrick, who's discovered the person behind the website. But when the women storm into the venomous gossip columnist’s office they find a lifeless body—along with a confession.
Although the police rule the death a suicide, Maya suspects an injured party hung the Dirty Laundry creator out to dry. Maya already has a PI partner—but she's pregnant, and sonograms and stakeouts tend to conflict. So when Sandra volunteers for a crash course in sleuthing, Maya accepts the help. But as these unlikely partners study the clues, a killer plans to teach them a lesson . . .

But when they go to confront them, they find them dead. In what appears to be a suicide. But the ex cop in Maya feels that there is more to it than that. So she, with the help of Sandra, decide to look into the death.
This was a great little story. It’s the first in a new series, and is shaping up to be a new must read series for me. This story was funny, and really held your interest. The characters were all wonderful, and just came alive off the page. This is the first book by this author I’ve read, but it won’t be the last. I really enjoyed this book.
