Summary

The third ground-breaking mystery featuring African-American maid and amateur sleuth Blanche White by Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award-winning author Barbara Neely

Blanche White is working as a temporary cook and housekeeper for a right-wing Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate, Alistair Brindle, when someone tries to blackmail him. It's an ugly mess that Brindle's political team is eager to sweep under the carpet and that Blanche can't resist cleaning up herself...especially after a young black man is killed who knew too much about Brindle's dirty laundry. Her investigation raises dark secrets involving sex, environmental contamination, and political corruption, difficult stains on the white, conservative Brindle family that someone is trying to remove with murder.

a gem in the Blanche White series

Boston is in Neely's cross-hairs. She is a sharp shooter focussing on issues and community, generations and "class". This book felt like the Neely's northern version of "The Wire". Blanche has some self reckoning to go through in this story line that feels so very real. Never wanted to put the book down.
