À propos de cet audio
Blanche White is a plump, feisty, middle-aged African-American housekeeper working for the genteel rich in North Carolina. But when an employer stiffs her, and her checks bounce, she goes on the lam, hiding out as a maid for a wealthy family at their summer home.
That plan goes awry when there's a murder and Blanche becomes the prime suspect. So she's forced to use her savvy, her sharp wit, and her old-girl network of domestic workers to discover the truth and save her own skin.
Along the way, she lays bare the quirks of southern society with humor, irony, and a biting commentary that makes her one of the most memorable and original characters ever to appear in mystery fiction.

Featured Article: Nine Cozy Mystery Series Perfect for Audiobook Fans
It's time to curl up with a cozy mystery! Or, since we're talking audiobooks, it may be time to (cracking knuckles) get some chores done while we listen to one of the most pleasurable genres around. These are my top eight cozy mystery authors, whose series I always enjoy and always prefer to experience in audio. I like to feel cozied up with the character, as we—yes, we!—solve the crime together, and the best way to do that is to listen to the character.

good
I probably wouldn't have read this half it not been part of a list of mysteries that I'm trying to read through, but I did, and I enjoyed it, although maybe I didn't understand it as well as perhaps I should have.
I think, of the three, I liked The Locked Room the best, probably because it was the most straightforward? Although there was a scene in City of Glass that made me guffaw, and I appreciated that.
I think the fact that I read all three in one go kind of... I don't know. The three stories are all so similar in themes that it made it feel kind of... slow? Repetitive?
At any rate, it was an interesting read and a nice change of pace for me.

Perspective adjustment
Such a well written and performed tale. Loved the inner thoughts of Blanche and what they revealed about the need to understand the dangers of stereotyping and prejudice.
