Having that same cleaner uncover evidence that frames you: Priceless
On her way to completing a degree in forensic science, Gabby St. Claire drops out of school and starts her own crime scene cleaning business. “Yeah, that’s me,” she says, “a crime scene cleaner. People waiting in line behind me who strike up … behind me who strike up conversations always regret it.”
When a routine cleaning job uncovers a murder weapon the police overlooked, she realizes that the wrong person is in jail. But the owner of the weapon is a powerful foe… and willing to do anything to keep Gabby quiet.
With the help of her new neighbor, Riley Thomas, a man whose life and faith fascinate her, Gabby plays the detective to make sure the right person is put behind bars. Can Riley help her before another murder occurs?

Recommend anything by Christy Barritt if you are a mystery fan.
I used to love reading mysteries but had given up where they always seemed to be full of foul language & sexual scenes. After giving a couple of Christy Barritt’s books a try I am once again hooked!! This has all the action packed, unexpected twists & turns and well developed characters I love but without all the unnecessary language & sexual …
I am in the car a lot so I try to buy audio books, a 5 hr. drive goes very quickly when you are listening to an entertaining inspirational book.
Great cozy mystery. Written in 1st person, you get to see the world from Gabby’s perspective, and she’s quite a character! Humor, mystery, and a pinch of faith from a side character or two (because Gabby herself isn’t a Christian).
Uplifting, fun easy read!
The main character in this book has a very interesting job cleaning up murder scenes. She gets into a lot of trouble and almost becomes one of her scenes! Funny at times but also made me jump a few times.
i couldn’t put it down even with 3 kids i finished it in 2 days
This book was Laugh-Out-Loud Incredible!! It was very entertaining and by the end of the book, I found myself wanting to start my own cleaning business!!! I’m very excited to read the rest of the Series. Christy Barritt has been added to My List of Favorite Authors!!! 5 Stars indeed!!!
I loved Hazardous Duty right from the first page through to the last and seeking another one to read! The
Enjoyed all the books in this series. Want future books as soon as available.
I liked this book, it was an easy read…maybe a little too light and fluffy for the subject matter being dealt with. Definitely a Cozy Mystery! With very little thinking required on the reader’s part. It was just OK and I did finish it but did not continue with other books in the series.
