Reviews for Crazy Maids in a Row

[Kayla Yetman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

5/5 Stars

Crazy Maids in a Row marks yet another stellar entry to The Spokane Clocktower Mysteries by Patricia Meredith. Simply put, I devoured this!

With The Baker admitted to the Medical Lake asylum, her treatment and care should be well underway. Only a string of murders breaks out bringing the Carew brothers, Marian and Archie to the asylum to investigate.

Coming back to The Baker and seeing the familiar cast I’ve come to love was an absolute treat. The characters continue to grow along with a romantic subplot that felt carefully structured within the story. For me, the relationship developments, and internal reflections we see from the characters was thoughtfully done. Further solidifying them as real people you might stop to chat with over a cup of tea. There was also a great balance of wholesome moments mixed within the mystery.

Speaking of; the mystery itself often left me in suspense and had plenty of chilling moments. So far, this one felt to have the highest stakes due to the close quarters of the murders and those who might help in solving it being classified as insane. Patricia Meredith also handles the themes of mental illness and disability with care. Not only matching the situations and perspectives to the time in history but also managing to capture authenticity to the characters experiences.

I will say the pacing felt fast as there were lots of moving parts within this story. The inclusion of historical events, people and data also shows the authors passion for history. At the end of the book there is mention of the research that inspired aspects of the story and demonstrates impressive attention to detail.

I also read this as an immersion read (physical and audiobook). The narrator, Rebecca Cook, delivered another fantastic performance bringing the characters to life from the pages.

As mentioned in my reviews for the first two books in this series, I highly recommend these binge worthy reads. Patricia Meredith delivers meaningful characters within mysteries that will have readers on the edge of their seats.
