Summary

When Alexandra Richards approaches professional declutterer Ellen Curtis to ask her to help sort out her mother's chaotic flat, Ellen gets the impression Alexandra doesn't like her mother very much.

But when Ingrid Richards' body is discovered in her burned-out home, Alexandra's exasperated words don't seem such a joke. Due to the hazardous state of the victim's over-cluttered residence, the police are inclined to dismiss her death as an unfortunate accident. Ellen's not so sure.

Could Alexandra's resentment towards her mother have escalated into violence? The more she discovers about the dead woman's remarkable past, the more convinced Ellen becomes that there's something decidedly suspicious about her death.

Don't get me wrong, I like Osman (very similar writing style) but Brett should be a million seller. This series is amazing.

I have often wondered if Brett is actually a ghost writer for Osman!!!

As good as, if not better than Richard Osman

I have read books or listened to nearly all Simon Brett’s books. You can’t beat them , great characters and good plots. I especially like this new series , and the characters. I know it is very gentle detective fiction and utter escapism but sometimes you want that . Like cocoa and slippers .

Really enjoyed this book

Having been a fan of the feathering mysteries, l hoped that this would be equally good, and I am not disappointed, love the narration, just a good listen

A new series to listen to
