On her way to completing a degree in forensic science, Gabby St. Claire drops out of school and starts her own crime scene cleaning business.
When a routine cleaning job uncovers a murder weapon the police overlooked, she realizes that the wrong peerson is in jail....of course she goes on a quest to solve the crime.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more books from Christy Barritt

Christian chick lit mystery. Enjoyable read but like many others in this genre, the heroine had NO common sense at all!

A Christian chick lit mystery, blurring the line between genres. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The descriptions are creatively graphic, and certainly capture the reader's attention.

Christian suspense novel; well written and a lot of fun!
This is the beginning of a new mystery series and I can't wait for the next one.

I really enjoyed this book! Not what I was expecting--very light hearted reading but fun at the same time when all the bad things kept happening to Gabby, her reaction on what was happening to her was great. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Whistling a tune from Fiddler on the Roof, I used my tweezers to work a piece of Gloria Cunningham's skull out of the sky blue wall.

Gabby St. Clair dropped out of college before she finished her degree in forensics to open a crime scene cleaning business. She discovers hidden evidence in a high profile murder case involving a politician and feels the need to bring him to justice. Of course, the threats on her life plus a friend being accused of a crime help as well.

This was a very quick easy read with likeable characters. Gabby's apartment building alone has enough quirky people to carry the story. There is a potential for a love triangle between Gabby, the detective and her new neighbor. I think I will read the next book in the series just to see where it is going.

This book was a quick read. The 1st in the "Squeaky Clean" series. It was a good mystery & introduction to the main character (Gabby), her friend (Sierra), the intriguing neighbor (Riley) & the hunky detective (Parker). Gabby has a crime scene cleaning business since she dropped college where she was pursuing forensics. The book compares faith vs science where she is struggling to believe in God. I liked the book because there were no sex scenes & the romance was clean. She is a little bullheaded trying to solve crimes when she has no business doing so. I will read the next in the series to see how it goes.
