About this audiobook
"Murder, con games, and assassination in 1901 Washington state with the President's life on the line. Ms. Meredith writes another taut and tightly plotted thriller in the Spokane Clock Tower series, one not to be missed!" — New York Times bestselling author William H Keith
In this sequel to Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker, we're once again transported to Spokane, 1901. A body discovered in Hangman Creek looks to be the result of an accidental fall, but what begins as a "simple" mystery for Thomas Carew and his twin brother Bernard quickly becomes a lot more complicated, including implications that tie in with the bombings at the Idaho mines, and perhaps even President McKinley's planned visit.
It's been one month since the events of the first book, and readers will enjoy engaging once again with the full cast of quirky characters, from Archie and Marian to Thomas and Bernard, with a couple new faces thrown in. Those familiar with Spokane will love the entangled web that takes them from Hangman Creek to the Campbell House and the Montvale, ensuring that this story couldn't be set anywhere but Spokane, Washington.
Cupboards All Bared is Book 2 in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries.

I recieved a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Cupboards All Bared brings a captivating sequel to the Spokane Clocktower Mysteries. From a mysterious death, great character work, and delicious food, this was another binge worthy read.
Picking up one month after the events of Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker, readers are brought back into the lives of the Carew brothers. When a body is discovered in Hangman Creek, the Carew brothers investigate what looks to be an accidental fall. Though it quickly turns into something bigger than they anticipated.
I found Cupboards All Bared to have different tone compared with Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker. Where the first book felt more mystery oriented, Cupboards All Bared balances the mystery with more focus on the characters. I personally loved getting to know the characters better and to see more of their history, relationship dynamics and how this impacts the story. There were also new characters to meet along the way, some of which were detestable or intriguing. Ultimately taking characters I enjoyed and turning them into characters I love.
Patricia Meredith’s passion for history and literature is clear within her stories. Creating her stories within historical events, places, and figures, while mixing in literary references appropriate for the period.
I can’t forget to mention the representation of disability and mental illness. Done in a way that’s appropriate for the period but also gives a nuanced depth to the characters.
I also read the physical book along with the audiobook. The narrator, Rebecca Cook, is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators for her ability to capture the characters personalities.
With memorable characters, eerie moments, and an intriguing mystery this was a compelling read.
