Gabby St. Claire and her friends come together to solve three cold case mysteries!
Clean Getaway:
Gabby St. Claire Thomas has been given the opportunity of a lifetime: heading up a privately funded Cold Case Squad and handpicking the team members. Persnickety Evie Manson and nerdy Sherman Gilbert join forces with Gabby to bring justice and solace to families who still want answers.
On their … families who still want answers.
On their first case, the Squad discovers that the murders of Ron and Margie Simmons are more than cold—they’re frozen solid. The couple’s anniversary celebration ended as a double homicide, and ten years later their daughter still longs for answers. But who would kill the loving couple? What kind of secrets hid beneath their cheery, All-American exteriors?
With every new lead, someone tries to sabotage their investigation . . . but the team might just end up being their own worst enemies. As a deadline presses in, can Gabby and her Squad bring the heat? Or will this cold-case killer make a clean getaway?
Clean Sweep:
A friend of Gabby’s husband needs help. His wife, Brooke, went to work one day and never returned home. No one has seen or heard from the woman in four months, and every lead has dried up.
Gabby and her team begin to unravel clues about Brooke’s life . . . and not all is as it seems. With each new layer that’s revealed, they realize the case may be bigger than they ever imagined. Did Brooke walk away from her life . . . or did she become ensnared in something deadly?
Gabby fears this investigation won’t be the clean sweep she hoped for. No, the dirt she’s turning up might be more of a toxic stain. But as the stakes become clear, she realizes that failure isn’t an option.
Clean Break:
Gabby and the Cold Case Squad tackle their most personal case yet.
Evie Manson’s foster mom vanished six weeks ago on a trip to Pennsylvania. The mystery surrounding her disappearance haunts Evie. Was it a blind date gone bad? Is she injured somewhere all alone? Why hasn’t anyone heard from her since?
With not a clue in sight, Gabby and the Cold Case Squad travel to Shady Valley to investigate. When no one will answer their questions and hostility abounds around every corner, the crew determines something is definitely shady in the valley.
News of a dead body found in the local park intensifies the search for Evie’s missing mother. Just what is the town hiding? Is Evie’s foster mom even still alive? Gabby and her team need to catch a break before time runs out. But will obstacles at every turn stop them?

These are great stories. I have read them twice and will probably re-read them each Summer. I love the characters. Fun, light reading. Mysteries with just the right number of twists.
No grandiose attitudes. Just hard work and three people rubbing along together to make sense out of the mysteries. Great series!
Always love her books
I always enjoy reading about Gabby.
I liked this series. It was fun, CLEAN, and kept me guessing ;If you like a good who-done-it book, I think you will enjoy this series.
Great mysteries. Three books sold together with interesting story lines. One was kept guessing until the end, “who done it”!
Great mysteries!
Gabby St. Claire Thomas is a crime scene cleaner turned investigator. She loves her quirky t-shirts, music, and husband, Riley. And she really loves to solve a mystery. The Cold Case Squad is made up of cynical Evie and techno-nerd Sherman. Together they are solving the old, cold cases no one has been able to figure out. The book series includes:
Clean Getaway
A really cold case- the victims were frozen! Gabby and her team have to figure out what happened to the all-American couple and help their daughter achieve closure.
Clean Sweep
Gabby’s friend’s wife has disappeared. With no trace, Gabby, Evie, and Sherman have to delve deep to find out what really happened.
Clean Break
When Evie’s foster mom disappears, Gabby and Sherman join her on a rollercoaster journey to find her. It takes them through a small town with terrible secrets and prejudices.
Christy Barritt’s mysteries are clean and filled with excitement and suspense. Gabby’s stories just keep getting better. Each book can stand alone, but it’s best to read them in order. They keep you guessing who could be guilty. I’m glad Gabby is taking on cold cases, starting in Clean Getaway. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t read the previous ones in the Squeaky Clean series.
In Clean Break, one of the Cold Case Squad members is personally involved. The trio goes to Pennsylvania to try to track down Evie’s missing foster mom, but meet much more than they expected, including plenty of danger. Can they find whoever is responsible for several murders? These novels will help satisfy your crime-solving itch.
In Clean Sweep, Gabby helps her husband’s friend search for his missing wife. With no trace of her, the police investigation has stalled. So Gabby finds clues no one else has uncovered. Her determination and nosiness prove effective once again as she closes in on dangerous answers. But there are plenty of surprises and exciting moments. The entertaining characters seem like real people, and you miss them when not involved in a mystery.
I received a copy from the author. All opinions are my own.
