Dead Storage

The author of Scheduled to Death "perfectly captures the high-tech lifestyle of Silicon Valley . . . Deeply rewarding and with organizational hints" (Kings River Life Magazine). As a professional organizer, Maggie McDonald brings order to messy situations. But when a good friend becomes a murder suspect, surviving the chaos is one tall task . . . Despite a looming deadline, Maggie thinks she has what it takes to help friends Jason and Stephen unclutter their large Victorian in time for its scheduled renovation. But before she can fill a single bin with unused junk, Jason leaves for Texas on an emergency business trip, Stephen's injured mastiff limps home-and Stephen himself lands in jail for murder. Someone killed the owner of a local Chinese restaurant and stuffed him in the freezer. Stephen, caught at the crime scene covered in blood, is the number one suspect. Now Maggie must devise a strategy to sort through secrets and set him free-before she's tossed into permanent storage next . . . Praise for the Maggie McDonald Mysteries "Abundant with friendly canine companions, from-the-hearth cooking, and banter between long-time friends, this novel serves up a chilling mystery warmed by likable characters and enviable setting." -KRL News & Reviews "Bay Area residents will enjoy the heavy local angle." -San Jose Mercury News "The setting is delightful . . .
