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?
I really wanted to enjoy this book, but couldn't. I think it was because when I listened to this audiobook it was the author, who was a man reading the role of a woman. I couldn't visualize the story without seeing an older, burly, women with frumpy clothing. The book was slow going and it felt like it was going off in tangents and it was going through the story and characters. It was also hard to follow the characters and how they played into each other. I had waited a while for this book because there were many in front of me waiting to read it, but I could have passed on this mystery novel.
