This was a purchase from a library booksale for all of a quarter. :)

More of a 3.5 than a 3, but not quite so much that I bump it to a 4.

I'm going to check out the other titles in the series though, because it definitely kept me guessing about the whodunit for longer than a lot of mystery books. (Well, to be honest, I just doubted myself for a lot longer. haha. I suspected the outcome for awhile.)

It was a nice break from all the paranormal romance and such I have been reading lately.

I didn't break ENTIRELY away though, because the main character does see dead people at the crime scenes that she cleans up. I enjoyed the movie Sunshine Cleaning and its look at this niche cleaning industry, so this was a natural pick when I saw what she did for a living.

There's also a dash of will they/won't they with her coworker & employee, so that's always nice. The others were a good price on Kindle, so I will probably check them out that way.

A good book if you are looking for a quick, enjoyable mystery to read.
