Maria is a cleaner, a good one at that. She looks after elderly Elsie, unhappy Brian and the strange Mr Balogan with complete efficiency, leaving everything sparkling. So efficient she sometimes cleans up other things as well, like the after effects of murder!

I really enjoyed this book. It’s fun, entertaining and a little bit different. It’s written with a great sense of dark humour. I loved Maria, she’s a fantastic character. Life has not been kind to her but she’s finding ways of making it better! 👀There’s also a whole cast of other well drawn characters who add to the overall story. It holds its pace and kept me gripped until the end. I read this via the Pigeonhole app over ten days and I eagerly awaited each stave every day. I will not forget Maria in a hurry! An excellent read. ( )
