Good, Clean Fun: a Meh-rathon
From Playing Dead (Ms. Theroux Mysteries, #3):
Ms. Theroux was beginning to regret this new job. Cleaning a toy store? How does one do such a thing?
Toys were so disorderly. She could tidy to her heart’s content, and the place would still look abysmally busy and cluttered.
At least she could straighten things. Like the little race cars, and the army men, and the big human-sized teddy bears.
It was when she was working on this last bit that she came to a particularly hefty bear. She could barely move it, and when its head fell off, she realized why. Hidden within the fluff was a body.
And it belonged to none other than the reclusive toy magnate Arthur Holmes. He’d been missing for weeks. But the body had not begun to decompose. What’s more, it was ice cold to the touch.
Whoever did him in had access to cold storage, Ms. Theroux thought.
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.
