An Untidy Death (okładka  twarda, wyd. 03.2022)

When the body of a prospective client is discovered in her burned-out home, declutterer Ellen Curtis is drawn into a baffling investigation where nothing is as it first appears. `My mother`s going to kill herself . . . That is, if I don`t kill her first.` 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 outright 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. At least she can console herself that clearing out widower Edward Finch`s bungalow will be a straightforward job in comparison. But in this assumption, Ellen couldn`t be more wrong . . .
