When three local cleaners discover something far more valuable than dust bunnies inside a vacuum cleaner, they suddenly find themselves at the center of a murder investigation.
Maisie Schreffler was looking forward to a quiet winter in Piney Hollow. Between helping at The Full Bobbin quilt shop, preparing for her sister's Valentine's Day wedding, and keeping her oversized Maine Coon, Chairman Meow, out of trouble, she has more than enough to keep her busy.
But when an insurance adjuster is found dead, suspicion falls on the owners of a small cleaning company who recently stumbled across a missing diamond with a mysterious past. As secrets multiply and motives unravel, Maisie discovers that solving the case will require more than careful observation-it will take the help of friends, family, and one unforgettable eighty-five-year-old great-aunt who has never learned to mind her own business.
Set in the charming town of Piney Hollow, Pennsylvania, Partners in Grime is the second Maisie Schreffler Cozy Mystery. Filled with quirky characters, gentle humor, small-town charm, and plenty of twists, this clean cozy mystery invites readers into a community where neighbors look out for one another, coffee is always brewing, and even the most ordinary day can uncover extraordinary secrets.
