Review – Clean Sweep

From the back cover: Gabby St. Claire Thomas and her Cold Case Squad reunite to solve a missing person’s case. 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. My thoughts: CLEAN SWEEP is the fourteenth book in Ms. Barritt's Squeaky Clean Mysteries series. It does stand alone, but fans will want to read all the books to get to know how Riley and Gabby met, her quirky friends (which have their own series) and more. I have read every book in the series from the beginning and I love Gabby. She is so sweet and quirky. As usual, she manages to get herself neck deep into the investigation before she realizes she's even on the right trail. I absolutely love Ms. Barritt's writing and am so glad she's a prolific writer because I am never out of reading material. Even right now she has two new books out I haven't read yet. And I can't wait. I did figure out who might be behind the crimes about midway, but not the whole truth or how or anything. This was an edge of your seat mystery that I couldn't put down. Don't miss CLEAN SWEEP.
