A Messy Affair by Elizabeth Mundy
4.0

Quirky, hilarious & addictive!

Is there anything more endearing than a reluctant sleuth? Lena won my heart - intelligent, witty and feisty. Her cleaning job gives her the perfect cover for investigating unnoticed watching and listening in the background of everyone's lives.

Mundy's easy writing style pulls you in and her descriptions are so vivid you'll soon feel like you are Lena's sidekick trying to work out from the clues and guess whodunit. Well plotted and clever, I really enjoyed reading this mystery.

It only just missed out on 5⭐ because I guessed who did it but with the twists, humor and fabulous characters I was still more than satisfied. Fingers-crossed there is book four in the series!

This can most certainly be read as a standalone but I definitely will be reading Mundy's previous two novels as soon as possible.

Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
