2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Introducing an engaging new amateur sleuth, declutterer Ellen Curtis, in the first of a brilliant new mystery series. Ellen Curtis runs her own business helping people who are running out of space. As a declutterer, she is used to encountering all sorts of weird and wonderful objects in the course of her work. What she has never before encountered is a dead body. When Ellen stumbles across the body of a young woman in an over-cluttered flat, suspicion immediately falls on the deceased homeowner's son, who has recently absconded from prison. No doubt Nate Ogden is guilty of many things but is he really the killer? Discovering a link between the victim and her own past, Ellen sets out to uncover the truth. But where has her best friend disappeared to? And is Ellen really prepared for the shocking revelations to follow?

A professional declutterer is used to dealing with unpleasant surprises... but a dead body is new. Interesting premise and backstory, but the prose is often sloppy and the solution of the mystery isn't very satisfying. It almost feels like Brett would rather have been writing a sad, misogynistic novel.

Mehso-so

First in a new series and it‘s... ok. I love Brett‘s Charles Paris series but find his other series a bit hit and miss. It has potential though so I‘ll probably check back in with the series at some point.
