The award-winning author of The Thin Woman sends her heroine, Ellie Haskell, fresh from the diet wars, on a rollicking hunt for the killer of a fellow member of the Chitterton Fells Charwomen's Association. 25,000 first printing. Mystery Guild Main.
Spring cleaning fever almost has the inimitable Ellie Haskell scrubbing the Merlin's Court chandeliers with a toothbrush, turning the entire household topsy-turvy. But when members of the Chitterton Fells Charwomen's Association (C.F.C.W.A.) start biting the dust, Ellie must drop everything to discover what dark secrets the victims had swept under the carpet.
All in the service of her investigation, Ellie pledges to abide by the rules of the Magna Char and becomes an honorary member of the C.F.C.W.A. With the help of Bentley, her feckless cousin Freddy, and an assortment of homemade cleaning solutions derived from Abigail Grantham's diary, Ellie embarks on a brief, ill-fated stint cleaning her neighbors' houses - and snooping through their things. As Ellie seeks to uncover the skeletons in the closets of both friends and strangers alike, she must ask herself: Which was a motive for murder? And will she find out before the murderer decides to rub her out as well?
