Book Description
Excerpt from Agnes of the Bad Lands O aimlessly interwoven were the dark and nar row streets where Agnes lived that you could not reach Shady Court from any direction if you went straight. Was it because the frowsy men and slatternly women never went straight in the domain of morals that their feet staggered around blind corners and over uneven cobblestones with unerr ing certainty? Of the children that swarmed in the greasy gloom or played in the one hour's sunshine that streamed over high walls when the day was right, there was no record that any, even the young est Ou his legs, was ever lost. That would have been luck too good for Shady Court in the Bad Lands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bad Housekeeping
Author: Maia Chance
Publisher: Crooked Lane Books
ISBN: 168331168X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
When 28-year-old Agnes Blythe, the contented bifocals-wearing half of an academic power couple, is jilted by her professor boyfriend for the town Pilates instructor, her future is suddenly less than certain. So when her glamorous, eccentric Great Aunt Effie arrives in town and offers a job helping to salvage the condemned Stagecoach Inn, what does Agnes have to lose? But work at the inn has barely begun when the unlikely duo find the body of manipulative Kathleen Todd, with whom Agnes and Effie both have recently had words. Words strong enough to land them at the top of the suspect list. The pair have clearly been framed, but no one else seems interested in finding the real murderer and Agnes and Effie's sleuthing expertise is not exactly slick. Nevertheless, they're soon investigating a suspect list with laundry dirtier than a middle school soccer team's and navigating threats, car chases, shotgun blasts, and awkward strolls down memory lane. In Bad Housekeeping, the first novel in the Agnes & Effie cozy mystery series by Maia Chance, danger mounts, deadlines loom, ancient knob-and-tube wiring is explored, and the ladies learn a thing or two about the awful, wonderful mistake that is going back home.
