Maggie Phillips is a stay-at-home mom, runs her own house cleaning business and on the side is a Confidential Informant to the police.  She takes care of her sons, does some house cleaning and makes sure the criminals get caught sometimes even before a crime happens.  It is really hard to be a good wife even when he is an ex-Navy SEAL but since he is a hunk Maggie makes time but Neil is not so sure they don't need a little outside counseling, well hmm to that one.In her latest case Maggie finds a suspicious fax at the house she is cleaning, runs to the police with it and they promptly dismiss the case as mistaken information.  But then a mysterious gift appears at her employer's house and within the blink of an eye the wife goes missing and the clues are adding up to foul play.  There is blackmail, extortion, dirty money and a house fire adding to the intrigue that keeps Maggie looking for more answers and only getting into more trouble and it looks like someone is setting her up to take the blame for all of it.Jennifer Hart writes with so much passion and developed the story in a fashion that draws you in and keeps you engrossed until the last word in the book.  Her characters are flawed and loveable and she shows how a normal couple with all the chaos in their life really are.
