Description
Audrey Brooks adores people. She loves learning their quirks, listening to their stories, and making their lives a little brighter. Working as a cleaner suits her perfectly—nothing brings her more joy than a job well done and a stubborn stain scrubbed into submission. Cheerful, curious, and endlessly optimistic, Audrey sees the good in everyone.
Lewis McLennan, on the other hand, does not. A failed writer stuck in a recruitment job he loathes, Lewis prefers his coffee machine to most human beings—especially people like Audrey. Their personalities couldn’t be more different, and they would never have crossed paths if not for one unexpected event: a neighbour has just been found dead on his kitchen floor.
The police believe it’s a clear-cut case—his wife did it. But their eccentric landlady, Celeste, isn’t so sure. Determined to uncover the truth, she ropes in Audrey and Lewis to investigate. Now, this unlikely duo must work together to solve the mystery—if they can manage not to kill each other first. As they dig deeper, they start to wonder: could the killer be someone much closer to home?
Witty, warm, and packed with sharp observations, this irresistible mystery “oozes charm, wit, and bloody murder” (Jonathan Whitelaw) and is “beautifully unguessable… bursting with life” (Alex Hay). Perfect for fans of cosy crime with a clever twist.
