About this listen

Professional declutterer Ellen Curtis doesn't need to like her clients to help them sort their homes out. Aging TV personality and curmudgeon Humphrey Carter might have a chip on his shoulder the size of England, but a job's a job.

But when Ellen arrives the morning after Humph's eightieth birthday party, primed and ready to tackle his study - she gets the shock of her life. Humph's dead. . . and all signs point to him having taken his own life.

His wife is adamant he's been murdered, and the more Ellen looks, the more dirt on Humph she digs up. . . and the more suspects she uncovers. Can she track down a killer - if there even is one? And can she keep herself from killing not only her own infuriating mother, but also her two grown-up children, who all seem determined to destroy her peace of mind?

I am a fan of Simon Brett’s books but this is my my favourite series. Ellen is a great character and in this book we see her tested to the limit not only with the case she is working on, her clients but also her children and mother . Great who dunnit combined with a heart , the perfect escape !

Love characters and superb narration! Easy listen and storyline,
that holds the attention. Like best Tethering Mysteries. Simon Brett’s intimate knowledge of the characters and story results in a narration with humour and where appropriate emphasising the seriousness . Simon Brett includes a number of mental health issues and demise of the elderly such as loneliness. Children becoming the parent as well as current trend of adult children returning home. The need to address environment in every day life is also embroidered into the story.
