The Dead Husband by R.J. Brown

From the Publisher

Cleaning up dead husbands is not in Sally Collier's job description, so when she finds one buried at the bottom of his garden, her Monday morning work schedule gets majorly derailed.

Sally has history with the owners of the multi-million dollar home overlooking Discovery Bay on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state, and when her beau, Jefferson County Chief of Detectives GEORGE TULLOCK warns her she'll have to do a "Sally Sees": remember what she saw when she got there, her day turns into a walk down a bad memory lane.

From being raised in post-World War II London, England to becoming a secretary and emigrating to Chicago, Illinois where she went from an eager-beaver office gal to a single mom of two chickadees; from heading west to California's Bay Area where she met Mel and Renee at a Human Potential Movement training, and started cleaning for a living. To moving on to picturesque Port Townsend and working in a doctor's practice, she's made a good life for herself, started Sal's Gals, her cleaning company, & found a good man to love.

Sally's proud that Charles Dickens wrote about her current trade in A CHRISTMAS CAROL and says of her mentor: "My Mum was a good char, it's just that she didn't clean with a light heart. You know, have fun. Oh, quit sniggering! Of course you can have fun cleaning house. What's the first thing most little girls play at? Anyway, she taught me that a family's home will tell you a lot about how they're getting along, and for the past three years, this one's been in trouble."

Sally tells her first mystery from the perspective of an immigrant and a business woman, and isn't shy about her memories, the joy she finds in cleaning her homes andher love life.
