Publishers Weekly about "The Man On The Washing Machine"

Read the Publishers Weekly Review

“English transplant Theophania “Theo” Bogart, the narrator of Cox’s delightful debut, runs a small business called Aromas in San Francisco with her new friend, Nicole. Theo has created a family of sorts with nearby residents and business owners, who share a community garden. Among them are a women-chasing doctor, Theo’s stiff-upper-lip grandfather, an abused teen, a garden designer, a blundering bookkeeper, an elderly man on a snail-killing rampage, and a mysterious, good-looking man who runs a women’s shelter—all well-developed characters, many with secrets and intriguing backstories. It’s clear from the get-go that Nicole is up to no good. When painter and petty thief Tim Callahan falls off a roof to his death, it appears to be a case of foul play. Another death follows and is likely related to Tim’s. A hearty dash of humor enlivens this complex, multilayered tale, which won Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award.”

Juliet Blackwell about "The Man On The Washing Machine"

“The Man on the Washing Machine is a quirky, aromatic concoction of mystery, suspense, and humor. Theophania Bogart is a welcome addition to the cozy genre: A Brit with a mysterious past, intent on reinventing herself in San Francisco. Add a dash of romance, a dollop of humor, a gift for English understatement, and The Man on the Washing Machine makes for a heavenly-scented, fabulous read!”

Juliet Blackwell, author of the Witchcraft Mysteries and the Haunted Home Renevation series

Louise Ure about "The Man On The Washing Machine"

“I adored this book. Get your hands on it as fast as you can, and open the door to Susan Cox’s inimitable heroine, Theo Bogart. With an Englishwoman’s wit, and a San Franciscan’s grit, Theo plunges through more murderous turns and twists than San Francisco’s famed Lombard Street.”

Louise Ure, Shamus Award winning author of Forcing Amaryllis, The Fault Tree and Liars Anonymous

Gillian Roberts about "The Man On The Washing Machine"

“The Man on the Washing Machine is perfect for anyone who loves a mystery with a twist of wry, an engaging, witty sleuth with a dark secret, an unusual setting and yes indeed, a man on the washing machine! I hope this exceptional debut is the first of many clever, murderous outings for the terrific Theo Bogart.”

— Gillian Roberts, Anthony and Agatha Award winning creator of the Amanda Pepper mysteries
