About this listen

Ellen Curtis runs her own business helping people who are running out of space. As a declutterer, she is used to encountering all sorts of weird and wonderful objects in the course of her work. What she has never before encountered is a dead body.

When Ellen stumbles across the body of a young woman in an over-cluttered flat, suspicion immediately falls on the deceased homeowner's son. No doubt Nate Ogden is guilty of many things - but is he really the killer?

Discovering a link between the victim and her own past, Ellen sets out to uncover the truth. But where has her best friend disappeared to? And is Ellen really prepared for the shocking revelations to follow?

One of those you can’t put down. Well plotted, lovely characters and satisfying.
Not one for the tourist board of Portsmouth though!

I've listened to all Simon Brett's 'Feathering' mysteries so I decided to give this a go...and i'm glad I did. An unusual blend of murder mystery, world building for later books no doubt, stories of loss and mental ill health. A gentle start to the series with an excellent double reveal!

i liked that the stories are murder mystery but woven with mental health observations, decluttering is novel idea to use as a base. loved it.

quirky tale

I thought this was a fascinating idea for a story and as usual Mr Brett characterises beautifully, and puts together his plot effectively. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

Original idea for a detective story

This is a pet hate of mine and I wish I’d realised before I bought this book. The main character is a woman. The book was written by a man and is read by a man. It’s so annoying having to listen to an entire story read by a man trying to sound like a woman. Also, I can hear his breathing and tongue clicks which is so off putting. Stick to what you’re good at! The story itself is good, the is plot enjoyable BUT the narration…….Grrrrr! I’m not sure I’m going to be able to finish it, 6 hours seems like a relatively short book but with this voice it feels like eternity.

To any authors reading this: Audible is not a second thought or choice and an expense to be skimmed over. For many of us avid readers, it’s a lifeline and the only way we can ‘read’. Please invest in decent narrators and give your book the credit it deserves.

The end.

Why do authors want to read their own books?

Strong characters and a great plot. Excellent start to a series - and well-narrated too.

Great premise

Having become totally addicted the Feathering Mysteries I approached this first offering in Simon Brett’s ‘new series’ The Clutter Corpse with a degree of trepidation…would it live up to my expectations and if more books were to follow would I become equally addicted ..well if this is a taste of things to come I needn’t have worried.
Just the right amount of twists and turns with characters that are believable and have the potential to be further fleshed out in future outings.
The writing is crisp and concise and the narration is as always first class .
I can throughly recommend it.

A Taste of things to come?

I have read a few of Simon Brett’s novels previously and enjoyed the Charles Paris dramatisations on R4, but never listened to an audio book narrated by him. At first I was a little thrown by the male voice giving first person narrative to the female protagonist but it’s a tribute to both the compelling storyline and Mr Brett’s wonderful performance that the jarring note very quickly faded and by the end the Narrator’s voice in my head was positively that of this marvellous and totally admirable new character. I haven’t enjoyed an audio book so much in years! I hope this decluttering series continues. I need to know how Ben navigates his next few years, whether Dodge ever gets to look Space woman in the eye and how she continues to build her life back. I am already close to being addicted.

More, please.
