The extraordinary/ordinary cleaning lady sleuth, Mabel Chen-a woman who is ignored by all but one cop at the police station she cleans-is back to solve more exciting mysteries in "Loose Ends, A Mabel Chen Mystery," the third book in the innovative Mabel Chen Mystery Series-a series which presents a unique blend of action, science, and Sherlock-like deductions. While cleaning the police station one evening in late November, Mabel Chen goes into life-threatening anaphylactic shock. After several tense touch-and-go hours, she recovers and discovers that anaphylactic shock cases have become a nationwide crisis. Mabel knows she is allergic to bees. However, it has been several weeks since the last bee flew in Northeast Ohio. A wife shoots her husband while he is wearing a disguise that concealed his identity, and surveillance videos clearly indicate it was self-defense. However, Detective Fair Shaw thinks the shooting is "too" perfect. He believes it was murder. If possible, please set aside a large block of time before you start reading. Once you begin a Mabel Chen Mystery novel, you may not be able to set it down!
