Find order and beauty in the kitchen with this delightfully elegant primer on washing the dishes that elevates and illuminates a seemingly routine chore. Washing the dishes is an ordinary, everyday task--but with examination and care, it can become much more. In this reverent guide to the household chore, Peter Miller shows us how washing dishes can become a joy, a delight, a meditative exercise, and an act of grace and rhythm. We pay so much attention to recipes but little attention to maintenance and cleanup. Washing the dishes is as much a part of making a meal as prepping the vegetables, making the sauces, or seasoning the meats. At times it is quite routine, sometimes raucous, other times complex. It is never convenient. Despite its din and clatter, and despite its reputation, washing the dishes is the coda to the meal. It is a bustling musical of water and soap, of flow and surface, and done well, the fragile shall sit as proudly as the cast-iron. There are some who do the dishes for the clarity and privacy of it, and there are some who relish the quiet isolation of putting things in order where they belong. There are some who feel the time and movement is a kind of digestive. In the evening in particular, there is a silence when it is all done. How to Wash the Dishes brings elegance, art, and a bit of mindfulness to the sink. It is the perfect gift for those who love to clean and equally as apt for those we wish would clean a bit more.

In Lynn Wingert's second novel featuring Claire Maxwell, the writer flies down to Miami Beach to interview a survivor of a vicious shark attack for her next article. And, to be perfectly honest, to get the hell out of Iowa in the middle of March. In her typical, inimitable fashion, no sooner is Claire off the plane than she's caught up in a string of bizarre deaths. So what else is new? The only bright side to the sudden flood of bodies washing up on the white sandy beaches of Florida is Lieutenant Chris Merrett, an old buddy of her brother Jack's from the police academy. As the body count rises, Chris and Claire rush from beautiful beaches to the county morgue to one of the finest houses in the city in an attempt to stop the deaths before Miami Beach is nothing but a ghost town.
