The Charlotte Adams Series

CHARLOTTE ADAMS is not quite five feet tall, addicted to stiletto heels and chocolate. She loves her business as a professional organizer in a small town in upstate New York, close enough to the money, far enough from the miserable ex-fiance. Things should be going well for her in this pleasant spot, surrounded by old friends, new dogs and plenty of clients. Too bad that if you're an organizer, you know everything about the homes you de-clutter. Every now and then you just might turn up a real skeleton in one of those crowded closet. Charlotte's not looking to play sleuth, but she's tenacious enough to hunt for a murderer if that's what it says on her to-do list. The Charlotte Adams mysteries come with organizing tips. You can use 'em or lose 'em. It's up to you!

ORGANIZE YOUR CORPSES

Mary Jane Maffini When thirty-year-old Charlotte Adams returns home to set up her personal organizing business in the historic town of Woodbridge, New York, she's expecting to find clients who need professional help sorting out their clutter, collections and just plain junk. She's expecting to reconnect with her old school friends, the lovable misfits: Sally, Margaret and Jack. She's expecting that her two rescued miniature dachshunds will help her forget her lying, cheating ex-fiancé and the square-cut diamond she's just tossed into the Hudson. She's not expecting to find her first client dead in the debris of a historic home. Not even a little bit. The death of the tyrannical retired teacher Helen "Hellfire" Henley makes the news in a big way. That's got to be bad for business. Naturally things get worse when the police find Charlotte's pen under the body. This is particularly tricky since Charlotte's former friend and current nemesis, Sgt. Pepper Monahan is in charge of the investigation. Try organizing your way out of that, lady.

The first of three Charlotte Adams mysteries, Organize Your Corpses (ISBN-10: 0425215806 ISBN-13: 978-0425215807) will be out in May 2007 from Berkley Prime Crime. It will be followed by Toying With Death in May 2008.

Mary Jane Maffini Daisy and Lily would like to state unequivocably that there is no connection whatsoever between them and Charlotte Adams's dogs, Truffle and Sweet Marie. Daisy and Lily would never hide keys, unfurl toilet paper, or dash off while their owner was being pursued by the police. The matter of the missing slippers and the gnawed dining room chair leg can be attributed to youthful indescretions. And as for those PC chargers, shoot happens. If you have a problem with that, have your people call their people.
