Another short e-book, “Laundry Day," by mystery author Stacy Juba.

When Gregg accidentally discovers his neighbor’s lingerie collection drip-drying in her shower, he stares in fascination at a scene that looks like laundry day at the whorehouse. After his neighbor is found dead - strangled with her own fishnet stocking - the next victim might even be closer to home.

Actually, I found that the story is not a mystery in the traditional sense. Also not a character story (or at least not very strongly). Not a suspense story—well, not too much suspense, anyhow. Not a humorous story (unless you find other people’s embarrassing problems humorous), though with mildly humorous moments. Just a story. A cute read, with a bitter twist at the end. (Although on second thought, that’s a twist that Hitchock might’ve been proud of, and definitely makes the story re-readable.)

“Laundry Day” is a quick 2900 words, followed by The Stacy Juba Mystery Sampler, which includes short excerpts of the mystery novels Twenty-Five Years Ago Today, Sink or Swim, and Dark Before Dawn. A good sampling of Stacy Juba’s work.
