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?

Love this series
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 !

Promising development of Space Woman!
Another easy to listen to story from Simon Brett. Always found his books a good read - since After Henry first came out.

Human, personal, bit annoying……..
I usually enjoy Simon Brett's various stories. They are funny and very entertaining. This particular story, however, has quite a melancholic atmosphere. Got to admit I prefer the upbeat Mrs Parteger's series with her whacky band of cohorts, Ellen’s family aren’t exactly a bundle of fun and I’m not really feeling much love for them. They’re a bit annoying to be honest and the murder part of the story was downplayed somewhat. Nevertheless it was a good enough listen, just a bit sad and Simon's rather subdued reading added to the sadness.

Great story but irritating character
I like Simon Brett's work but this will be the last of this series that I listen to. Ellen is becoming a wet blanket and needs to sort her family out asap...it's so distracting from the story that 75% is family and the rest is a murder shoehorned in.
