Review: Killer Close to Home (Cluttered Crime Mysteries Book 3) by Carol Light


 

Not all clutter is visible to the human eye…

Professional organizer Crystal Wards latest client, her neighbor Roscoe Tremaine, is changing his will, an announcement that sets off an explosive reaction within his family. That same night, a gas leak ignites, destroying his house, killing him, and rocking the Ward family at its foundation.

Her husband, Rick, is injured in the blast, so Crys hires Roscoe’s former caregiver, Wink Keller, to help him recover after surgery. But trouble is just beginning. Both Crys and Wink are beneficiaries in Roscoe’s will, and their alliance sends accusations flying from the Tremaines’ side of the fence.

Crys has her hands full dealing with her client’s not-so-grieving relatives, a teenaged girl stalking Wink, and a suspicious fire inspector. But when threatening “gifts” left on the Wards’ doorstep escalate, Crys is forced to sort through a tangled web of relationships, including her own, to keep her family safe.

Was Roscoe’s death just an accident, or is there a killer close to home?

 

My Review:

A hard book to put down.

I had a hard time putting this book down.  It is intriguing, exciting and full of action.  I never knew what would happen next. 

Shortly after Crys’s neighbor’s house blows up and he is killed, Crys starts getting creepy gifts.  Could it be the person who killed her neighbor or does Crys have a stalker?  With her sleuthing skills, Crys sets out to discover who is behind it before things escalate further.  I have read the other books in this series and this one is a great compliment to the rest.  It can be read as a stand-alone.
