By: Lee Hollis

Narrated by: Emily Durante

Desperate Housewives meets Murder, She Wrote in Lee Hollis' 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....

Great listen

I really enjoyed this book. It wasn’t too heavy but still kept me guessing. The narrator was fabulous.

New Favorite

Really like this series ,it was different and the characters interesting the narrator is excellent.

Sandy and Maya

What a great start to a new series, very robust characters that are not victims of their circumstance Maya, a private detective Sandy, a very privileged PTO mom come together in an unexpected way to protect their kids, reputations and school District. Sadie is willing to go the extra mile to get the job done, and her dressing up as a prostitute within the first couple hours shows her that she’s a ride, or die. Mays from the other side of the tracks. Still married to an incarcerated disgraced police chief, but not letting any of that dirt stick on her.

Just what I wanted!

I was starting a painting project and I wanted to listen to some thing that was easy and fun. This was perfect! The story and the writing are both really pretty good and the performance was excellent. The character development was very good and I felt honestly invested in the lives of these two women! The ending/resolution was not the most shocking, surprising or satisfying, but I see why it was done for this first one. I will certainly listen to the next and hopefully the next after that in this series.

More please.

I sure hope this is the beginning of a series. I loved the book. The characters and the story were first rate!
