Dirty Laundry

by Liz Osborne Narrated by Janean Jorgensen

Overview

During a full moon, people are quirky. But a full moon on Friday the 13th means everything's game and Madrona Bay Hospital's Patient Relations manager, Robyn Kelly, knows it. Still she is unprepared for finding patient Jason Hilliard strangled with IV tubing in his hospital bed. Now, she's got a hospital in panic, a police investigation going awry, and anonymous letters that promise more trouble to come. Not to mention her collegeage son announcing a “mercy” trip to Africa, her dining room ceiling collapsing, and her friend, Det. Matthew Pierce in traction. Then police Captain Roberts announces that he's making an arrest by Friday. Robyn finds herself once again in the cross hairs and completely over her head. Can she put together the clues in time to save herself? Or will Robyn end up with nothing but dirty laundry? A wellcrafted amateur sleuth mystery. Robyn Kelly is a likable character and an engaging narrator who intersperses interesting hospital details as she sorts through a lot of Dirty Laundry.

Osborne's delightful second Robyn Kelly whodunit (after 2007's Masquerade) provides an entertaining look at hospital life. Robyn, the manager of the patient relations department for a suburban Seattle, Wash., hospital, has the misfortune to find a difficult patient, Jason Hilliard, dead in his bed with IV tubing knotted around his neck. Robyn runs for help, but by the time she and others return, the tubing around Jason's neck is gone. Since her local police detective friend, Matthew Pierce, has thrown out his back, it's up to Robyn to delve into the evidence that Matthew's boss, Captain Roberts, is fumbling over for clues to the killer. Meanwhile, the 40-year-old widow must also deal with hostile patients, unhappy employees, and myriad other responsibilities. A homeless man proves to be an unexpected rescuer and helps bring this clean-as-a-whistle cozy to a perfect conclusion. (Apr.)
