This is the first in the Organized Mysteries series, and features a professional organizer named Kate McKenzie. She is married to a former professional hockey player, Keith, and they've recently moved to Vermont, to his hometown, just a few miles from his parents home. They have twin daughters who are in first grade, and as different in personalities as they are similar in looks.
Because the children are in school full-time, Kate decides to open her own business, as a professional organizer. She gets her first job when Amelia Nethercutt hires Kate to organize her mansion filled with a multitude of items, collected by Amelia and her late husband, Daniel. But before she can start the job, she gets a call from Amelia's stepdaugher, Sophia, telling Kate that her services are no longer needed, as Amelia is dead.
Kate is investigated by the police because her fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, and feels under suspicion by her neighbors. She decides to do some investigating herself, to clear her name.She is joined in her investigations by her best friend and neighbor, Meg Berman.
I enjoyed this book, and the tips on how to get organized that are scattered throughout the book. Looking forward to reading the next in the series when I have time.
This fulfills one of the requirements for Read Around the USA Challenge--Vermont.
Thanks so much for reviewing Organized for Murder. I appreciate the feedback :)
