Notoriously Neat — Suzanne Price

Spring is just around the corner in Pigeon Cove, which means business should soon be picking up for professional cleaner Sky Taylor. Unfortunately there are those in town with a different--and deadly--definition of spring cleaning.

Love is in the air for Sky and her potential new beau, the town's police chief--until their first date is interrupted by a menagerie of household pets stampeding through the restaurant. Someone murdered Dr. Gail Pilsner, the Cove's hugely popular veterinarian, and released all the critters boarded at her clinic. And that someone just may be Orlando Rios, Pilsner's lab tech.

Sky believes Orlando is innocent, and she thinks her best friend, Chloe Edwards, has more insight about him, since she's known Dr. Pilsner for years. But Chloe hasn't been available lately, spending more and more time with her vocal group, the La Dee Das. When one of the singers is murdered, Sky must uncover the link between the veterinarian and the songbirds before a killer finishes cleaning house.
