Closet Confidential

By Mary Jane Maffini

Book Overview

Fans of Marie Kondo and mysteries will love this series!

Professional organizer Charlotte Adams knows that every closet hides a skeleton . . . When a grieving mother reaches out to her, professional organizer Charlotte Adams can't refuse: the poor woman recently lost her young daughter in a tragic accident, and Charlotte feels compelled to help her through her despair, even if that comes in the form of sorting through her half dozen or more closets of designer clothing. But when the heartbroken woman confides to Charlotte that she's sure her daughter's death was murder, Charlotte doesn't know if she's dealing with delusional feelings or foul play. Reluctantly agreeing to look into the young woman's death, Charlotte questions the police and the witnesses and comes to the same conclusion as everyone else: it was a terrible accident. But then she uncovers a fleeting clue that points to a devious culprit and a cover-up, and what started as a mission of mercy is quickly turning into something far more menacing . . .

Fabulous Fourth

This is the fourth book in the Charlotte Adams mystery series. A cozy mystery that left me wondering "who dunnit" until the author spilled the beans!! Having read the entire series it was fun to revisit familiar faces and also to see how their lives have changed. Ms. Maffini left me wanting to know more and anxious for the next book.

Loved it!

I loved this mystery. I've read all four books in the series and loved them all. I don't know why the other reviewer was so negative about it. I don't think Charlotte was negative, and definitely no different than she's been in any of the other books. I love Charlotte and love this mystery. Can't wait for the next one!

Pay Attention To Your Closets!

Poor Charlotte. With good intentions born of bad experiences, she is determined not to get involved in any more murder investigations. Alas, this time trouble strikes close to her heart and compels her to get more desperately involved than ever before. There are enough twists and complications to keep Charlotte on her toes--and the reader on the edge of his or her chair. Charlotte's organizing business is always interesting to read about, informative and inspirational. This time, the closets in her own life hold things she must deal with.

Every closet has a secret...

The fourth Charlotte Adams book continues to deliver everything I've come to expect from Mary Jane Maffini - the characters are fun (and witty), the plot is a tangle I rarely solve before her heroine, and the secondary characters and her heroine continue to evolve in a living, breathing way. This time, Charlotte Adams has been hired by a rich beauty model who has seven (or more) closets out of control. Charlotte is happy to lend her personal organizing skills and career to the task, but when the woman confides that her daughter didn't die in an accident, but was murdered, Charlotte finds herself back in the role of unwilling sleuth. This time, however, Charlotte is trying to convince the poor woman what everyone believes: it was a terrible accident. But was it? Unwilling or not, Charlotte's sleuthing starts to lead her too close to home, and things are soon growing more dangerous than ever. Every closet has a skeleton - and the next skeleton might be Charlotte herself. Pickup the Charlotte Adams mysteries - you'll not be let down.

a good read

This was an enjoyable read. Charlotte receives two separate requests to look into a possible murder and for a wayward husband. There were plenty of twists and turns that kept me turning the pages until the last sentence.
