Publisher's summary
When Myrtle's housekeeper is a murder suspect, she swears to Myrtle that she's squeaky clean.
It’s easy for fellow citizens to get on your nerves in sleepy Southern towns like Bradley, North Carolina. Particularly when one of the citizens is something of a cheapskate.
Amos Subers isn’t one to tip waiters, pay back a loan, or behave generously with family. When it’s discovered that penny-pinching Amos was actually quite wealthy, it hardly engenders goodwill in the small town...in fact, he’s heartily disliked.
Octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover’s housekeeper is certainly no fan of his: Amos owes Puddin money for cleaning his house. It’s not too surprising when Amos is later found, murdered, in his kitchen.
Myrtle and her senior sidekick, Miles, resolve to track down the killer when Puddin becomes a prime suspect...and before the murderer strikes again.

Story
No one in Bradley, North Carolina, is exactly crying into their sweet tea over the murder of Parke Stockard. Certainly not retired schoolteacher Myrtle Clover. Upon discovering the corpse, Myrtle is struck - not with grief, but a brilliant idea! Solving the murder would prove to everyone - especially her son Red, the police chief - that this 80-something-year-old is still as sharp as a tack. Heck, going from crosswords to crime investigations isn't such a stretch.

My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves—although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive.

Fun with one problem
I like Myrtle and Miles, they are fun characters. I really enjoyed the narration, Judy Blue is my favorite narrator for this series. The story is pretty good too. The one problem I have is Myrtle’s disdain for Puddin. Its comes off as just plain mean. It’s not explained why she dislikes her so. Maybe it was in the earlier books? Overall, I liked the book and would recommend.

Cleaning and Crime?
When Myrtle’s housekeeper, Puddin, finds the body of one of her employers in the house she was supposed to clean, she immediately calls Myrtle and Miles. They rush over to make sure there has been a death, and it certainly looks like murder. But to Myrtle’s dismay, her police chief son, Red Clover, believes that Puddin is responsible for the murder.
With psychic Wanda’s warning that this time it’s Puddin who is in danger, Myrtle drags Miles along to prove her housekeeper’s innocence. But Puddin seems determined to get arrested by spreading the news that the dead man owed her money. With Red looking into the murder, Myrtle must hurry to clear Puddin’s name before she ends up dead, too.
Cleaning is Murder takes a regular background character, housekeeper Puddin, and pushes her into the spotlight. Her stubborn determination to get her money lends suspicion to her character, but regular readers who know her from previous books will be sure of her innocence. But the murderer is fast on her heels to silence her, and as Myrtle meets new characters from the small town of Bradley, North Carolina, we get to piece together the mystery of Amos’s death and the reasons he met such an abrupt end.
This book is great for fans of the Myrtle Clover Mysteries books, but this is not the book to start with. Puddin is a regular character, and getting to know her before this book is a good idea. Still, if you’ve read a few of the books, this one will draw you back in to the small southern town atmosphere full of secrets and intrigue.

Great afternoon cozy
First, narrator Judy Blue has really warmed into this role. She's a pleasure to listen to.
Myrtle and her sidekick Miles once again end up involved in a murder.

Loved it!!
I love the Myrtle Clover series of murder mysteries. This one was fun! The narrator was good. Miles is always a great side kick to Myrtle. Myrtle just keeps me laughing with her antics. The gnomes get to make a little appearance. Red is persecuted by his wife’s new change in their dietary habits. I enjoy the small town feel and the closeness of the main characters.

Best narrator
The narrators depiction of Myrtle has made me reexamine my previous negative review of these books. She has created a likeable character who by all accounts is an unlikable character on paper. Not an easy task I'm sure.
