A Disorganised Death (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781448319503)

Ellen Curtis - professional declutterer, amateur sleuth and woman of a certain age - hunts for a missing will with a killer bequest in this gripping mystery from the original king of British cosy crime, Simon Brett.

Professional declutterer Ellen Curtis doesn't do house clearances. So when Tamara Nicklin, owner of a local gastropub, asks Ellen to clear her late father's house, she's not interested . . . even when Tamara admits that the real reason she wants to hire Ellen is to find his missing will.

Then Ellen discovers Tamara's husband has plans for the house. Plans Tamara doesn't know about. And it's clear to Ellen that this is the right job for her, after all.

Ellen dives in, and what she finds in the dead man's house soon makes her wonder if Tamara's father really fell down the stairs, or if he was pushed. Can she sort through the secrets and lies to find not just the missing will - but the truth?

This thoroughly engaging contemporary mystery, packed with red-herrings, is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and M.C. Beaton.
