Wash, Fold, and Die

I had this book sitting on the shelf for a while before I picked it up yesterday to read. Her last book was one where I couldn't wait to finish it because I just wanted to be done with it, but this one was right back on track with the humor that attracted me to her books from the beginning. While I agree with one of the other reviewers that the relationship between Mandy and Stan seems to be going nowhere, it was explained in this book why he is so leery to become committed to her. I think with time, they will start getting more involved. Even without the romance, her books are enjoyable - how can they not be with the cast of characters - Betty, Mack, Honest Abe, Arthur, Nat, Spot...... I am very much looking forward to going home and picking up her next book.

WASH, FOLD AND DIE is another terrific book in the Mandy Dyer drycleaning mystery series. The funny first person voice is a delight to read, and the details of Mandy's drycleaning business add charm to the story. The characters--including Mandy and other recurring characters such as Mack, Betty, Stan, and Nate, as well as characters new to this book--are all freshly drawn. like I can't wait for the next book in the series.
