My Thoughts on Clutter Free

Clutter Free is a fun mystery-type novel and also makes me wish I was more like the main character and could organize flawlessly!  We live in a small house with lots of kids and I’m always looking for new organizational systems and ways to save my sanity a bit more. 

Kate is our main character/heroine.  She’s an organizer.  Professionally.  It’s her job.  She helps people organize and manage their homes.  (Does anyone know a real-life Kate who wants to come to my house?!)  But that new business takes a bit of a back burner when her brother is accused of having an affair.  To make that accusation worse is the fact that he’s a police chief!

When she meets with the accuser to get her to recant the woman won’t.  And then to make it all worse that woman is found dead the next day by Kate and her assistant!  Talk about an awkward and not good situation. 

This book read quickly and I loved the characters.  They spoke to me and I wanted to be friends!  I loved the book.  Reid is another character that you’re going to want to keep an eye on as he’s quite the guy.
