Calamity @ the Carwash is the third book in the Parson's Cove Mystery series.
A marital spat at a carwash turns deadly - and Mabel Wickles, Parson's Cove's top amateur sleuth, isn't buying the local police's claim that the victim's wife smashed him over the head with a brick.

However, Mabel is soon to discover that there's more calamity in store for her than just a spritzing at the carwash.
