review 1: First, why does Goodreads search engine suck so badly? Why was this book so hard to find? Gah.As for he book: I knew from the cover art this was going to be a silly book and it did not let me down. I was hoping for some light entertainment without grisly axe welding gore or unexpected child molestation. This is a comfortable story that will not shock you in any way. It gave me a couple of chuckles too.
review 2: Quincy Mac owns a house cleaning service in L.A. Taking the shift of a sick employee, she is cleaning the home of a Hollywood writer. She finds his award, a Mortie, covered in 'brown goo,' cleans it, along with everything else, including muddy footprints on the carpet. Then she proceeds to clean the bedroom...and comes across the body of a deceased c... morelient. Quincy has just accidentally cleaned a murder scene.I have never read a Holly Jacobs book before, but if this is any indication of other mysteries she may write, she has gained a new fan. This book, while definitely a mystery, is hilarious. Quincy Mac is a mother of three teenaged boys (16, 17, and 18), all of whom have gone to spend the summer with their father, a Hollywood producer. It seems their dad is fond of younger - much younger - women, and keeps marrying (and divorcing) them. But, as Quincy puts it, he's a good dad, which is all she cares about. So, of course, this leaves her alone for three months thinking it will be pretty quiet without her sons.After calling the police, she imagines herself - and her inner thoughts are the funniest part - in prison (with a new tattoo), for a murder she didn't commit. So of course, Quincy must try and find the murderer before she is wrongfully convicted.Never mind that the police don't really believe she was involved; never mind that the detective assigned to the case is smoking hot. And in Cal Parker, Ms. Jacobs has definitely created a smoking hot detective who is completely frustrated with Quincy yet completely attracted by her. The interplay between these two is entirely fun to witness. less
