Wash And Die

I have recently read a book called ' Wash and Die'. The book was written by Barbara Colley. The book was a crime novel and had enough mystery, twists and turns to keep anyone hooked to the story.

The book had text that was easy to read and to understand. The book had an amazing storyline and it had me hooked all the way through. With all the twists and turns in this story i was never sure what was going to happen next.

The book was all about Charlotte La Rue. Charlotte was the owner of a cleaning company called ' Maid For A Day'. Charlotte owned her own house and the one next door which Charlotte was renting out to Louis Thibodeaux and his wife Joyce. Joyce was an alcoholic and Louis had decided to put her in a detox hospital. While Joyce was in hospital Louis and Joyce went there seperate ways. When Joyce was released from hospital she arrived on Charlotte's porch and pleaded with Charlotte for somewhere to stay . Joyce swore to Charlotte that she was clean and sober and that she would find her own place in a few days. Charlotte was feeling sorry for Joyce and agreed to Joyce staying for a few days. Joyce made Charlotte's life hell for those few days. Joyce steals a gold watch from Charlotte and pawns it at the local pawn shop, Joyce has people watching Charlotte's house, Joyce lets out Sweety Boy Charlotte's parakeet, Joyce trashes Charlottes's livingroom then gets discovered stone dead in the middle of Charlotte's livingroom floor.  Charlotte becomes the prime suspect in Joyce's murder along with Joyce's husband Louis who had disappeared after returning home after being out the country on a business trip. Charlotte finds Louis at the hospital and they decided  to try and find out who killed Joyce themselves, putting themselves in terrible danger. Does Louis and Joyce's good friend Charlotte prove that they never killed Joyce and live happily ever after? I would strongly suggest that you read this book it really was a fantastic book to read.
