So if you had to decide between cleaning house or solving crimes which would you choose?  I just read Gayle Carline’s mystery Hit or Missus and I’m glad her sleuth Peri chose the life of crime solving.  Here is my review published on Goodreads.

Hit or Missus by Gayle Carline

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great mystery! Peri Minneopa is a cleaning lady turned private eye with a handsome boyfriend on the Placentia police force. Hit or Missus takes us through a cheating spouse case with some delightful characters like Benny who lives and breathes all things Dean Martin, and Mr. Mustard the orphaned cat. I really enjoyed the complexity of the plot and was surprised by the underlying story that was neatly woven into the ending. Now I want to read the first book!
