dynamic duo. Chance keeps the story moving quickly by keeping the
mystery lighthearted with just the right amount of danger. This is
a quick and fun summer mystery—the perfect beach read!”

“A hilarious debut to a new series...You couldn’t find a more
unique and entertaining cozy if you put up a neon light and
advertised for one! I’ve read a book or two by Maia Chance in
another series, but after the sheer joy of reading Bad
Housekeeping, I am on a mission to obtain copies of everything this
witty and imaginative author has had published! I highly recommend
that you do, too!”

"Bad Housekeeping is saucy, sassy fun! Agnes Blythe is still
reeling from a romantic betrayal when her irrepressible Aunt Effie
returns to their small hometown, determined to re-open the
condemned Stagecoach Inn. But first things first: there’s faulty
wiring to deal with, not to mention a murdered busybody on the
premises. Together, Agnes and Aunt Effie—a wacky but formidable
mystery-solving team—must clear their names in the first of a
sparkling new cozy series!"
