Good, Clean Fun: a Meh-rathon
From Swept Away (Ms. Theroux Mysteries, #3):
It was as they loaded Erin Thorpe into the police cruiser that Ms. Theroux remembered the last words of her erstwhile lover, toy designer Killian Moore.
“Double-A,” he’d said as she, his longtime house cleaner, stood next to him in his hospital bed. And then the line had gone flat.
They’d all assumed it had something to do with the new toy he’d been working on in the hours immediately before he was attacked by a masked assailant: the AA-battery powered RC Mega-Maid, built in Ms. Theroux’s honor.
But just then it occurred to her: perhaps it had nothing to do with batteries. Perhaps it had to do with spelling.
Dear god, she thought. Erin didn’t do it. His assistant, Aaron, did.
What better day for a spring-cleaning-themed Meh-ration than March 12th, the birthday of author Alicia Prescott? Creator of the character Ms. Theroux, the mystery-solving maid who appears in over 40 novels, Prescott has come to be known as “the queen of clean” in literary circles. So, stick around all day as we share excerpts from Prescott’s work, as well as tidbits from her letters, interviews, reviews, and more. Oh, and there will be deals too. On cleaning products. And also non-cleaning products.
Meh-rathon
What’s a Meh-rathon?
Normally, Meh is all about one deal per day—simple. But sometimes, we throw that out the window. A Meh-rathon is an all-day gauntlet of nonstop deals. One after another, untill we run out of stuff (or patience). It's chaotic. It's fun. It's a terrible way to shop responsibly. You've been warned.
