Good, Clean Fun: a Meh-rathon
From Too Many Crooks In The Kitchen (Ms. Theroux Mysteries, #11)
Ms. Theroux looked at her tea, thinking, what was it, if not dirty water? Although wasn’t all water dirty in its way? And what did that mean about her profession? Did she ever truly clean anything, given water’s role in so many of her processes?
She wished she could wash these silly thoughts from the surface of her mind and enjoy some peace during her downtime.
But peace would elude her tonight once more.
Her phone rang, and she could tell it was Cousin Minnie, even before she spoke.
“It’s my dear Gerald,” she said, “he’s been crushed by a chopped tree. He’s gone, Lizzy! He’s gone!”
Ms. Theroux sighed. “Minnie, you knew that when your husband went into the logging industry, there would be dangers.”
“Yes, it’s true,” wept Cousin Minnie. “But, Lizzy. The tree that claimed him? It was in our backyard.”
Ms. Theroux sat up straight and set down her tea. “I’ll be over as soon as I can.”
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.
