Grime And Punishment (1992) - Plot & Excerpts

GRIME AND PUNISHMENT by Jill Churchill is 246 pages in length in paperback form. It is #1 in a Jane Jeffry Mystery.Brief Description:It's So hard to Kill Good Help These Days. . .With three kids to raise on her own, Jane Jeffry sometimes needs a hand with the housework. But many of her complaining neighbors believe that the Happy Helper cleaning lady they all share wouldnt know a dustball if she was choking on it. That hardly seems reason enough, however, to do the disreputable domestic in.So when the charwoman in question is discovered strangled to death with a vacuum cleaner cord, Jane decides to dig up the real dirt--if the tenacious single mom can find any time to spare between her PTA meetings and car-pooling duties. But despite her busy schedule, Jane is determined to tidy up the whole murderous mess--even if it means provoking a killer who may live as close as next door.I found this to be a delightful read. It is one you could read in an afternoon. More on the cozy side with some very smart remarks made between the PTA women but still I enjoyed every minute of this one. I have not read many books by Ms. Churchill, but I plan to in the future. This book moves along very well and even has a little element of romance between the widow Jane and the detective Mel and I would like to see how that develops. Shelley was by far someone that I know you all have had as a friend at one time or another in your life. What ever Shelley wants she is able to get. Reminds me of some Southern women even though this is not set in the South. I want to be just like Shelley and I think every woman wants to be like her as well. She is the organized one of the bunch and I adored her.I am giving this 5 out of 5 stars and can't wait to read the next book in this series. I really want to see what trouble Jane and Shelley can get into next. I also want to see how the relationship between Mel and Jane develops, as I am sure this was not the last we will see of him.BUY NOW: Conniesbookshelf.com $1.99
