This was a fun read and something a little different to the usual murder/mystery and whilst there are times when I found it a little immature - surprising really as the main character is in her 30's - overall, I quite enjoyed it.

The main characters of Claire, Sophie, Basher and Alex are an excellent eclectic group of people (and a ghost!) and I found their friendship was really well developed and felt authentic; the other characters ... not so much; they were a little stereotypical which was unfortunate. The mystery element was intriguing but the pace was a little slow.

Overall, a pretty good read although it may appeal to a more younger audience than me, i.e., under 30's!

Thanks to Atlantic Books, Corvus and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Grave Expectations.

Hazardous Duty ( Squeaky Clean Mysteries book 1)
By Christy Barrit
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On her way to completing a degree in forensic science, Gabby St. Claire dropped out of school and started her own crime scene cleaning business. Now, when a routine cleaning job leads her to a murder weapon the police overlooked, she realizes that the wrong man is in jail. With the help of her neighbor, Gabby plays detective to make sure the right man is put behind bars. Guaranteed fiction!

This was a fun read. A good Nancy drew type of character with a quirky job as a crime scene cleaner. I found it an interesting read a book that didn’t take itself to seriously. I’m pretty sure I changed suspect 3 or 4 times and still didn’t get it in the end 😂!
