About this listen

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.

Very enjoyable cosy and cluttered mystery. Looking forward to the next adventure of Space Woman!

Very enjoyable

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

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 love both Simon Brett’s writing and his voice. I’ve listened for years to his Radio 4 series and commented recently that every one bears up to multiple listens. I never tire of After Henry and No Commitments.
This story doesn’t disappoint- well rounded characters, a great story and one I’ll go back and listen again to
Thank you Mr Brett for giving me such a lot of enjoyment from your writings

Delightfully Brett

So different.

Love Simon Brett but this book really is exceptional. The insights into mental health and family relationships are so insightful. Excellent plot line too

Fabulous 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

Love this series, Ellen the main character is brilliant, very relatable and I would suggest this is more believable that the Fethering or Mrs Pargetters series . Great blend of humour and mystery and an all round good listen that will keep you hooked in whilst still allowing you to potter around and do the housework :)

My Favourite Simon Brett series

I love Simon Brett’s writing, what a dismal performance. Utterly spoilt it and had to stop as it became too annoying. I’m sure it would have been a good story.

Narrator ruined it
