A crime scene cleaner follows a trail of staged deaths

Olive Hunt’s work brings her into contact with the aftermath of violent deaths, but a recurring object at two scenes leads her to question the apparent suicides. As another body appears and a message arrives at her home, the investigation becomes a personal pursuit: the killer seems to be leaving clues for Olive and anticipating her role in cleaning up. The crime-scene-cleaner perspective ties the suspense to the practical aftermath of violence, while Olive’s childhood trauma is part of how the description frames her relationship to that work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of psychological suspense centered on a serial-killer investigation.
  • For readers interested in crime fiction told through the perspective of a crime scene cleaner.
  • For adult readers drawn to stories involving trauma and staged deaths.

Book overview

A crime scene cleaner is on the trail of a serial killer in a breathtaking novel of psychological suspense by USA Today bestselling author Brianna Labuskes.

Death pays well for Olive Hunt, a crime scene cleaner who channels her childhood traumas into erasing the suffering of others. After nearly ten years, she's seen it all. Nothing rattles her anymore.

Until now.

Two back-to-back suicides. A seedy motel. An upscale Atlanta hotel. No connection--except that Olive discovers the same strange item at each scene. Then a third body drops. Olive knows what the police refuse to see: These aren't suicides. They're murders staged to perfection.

Then the roses arrive. A vase of bloodred blooms on her doorstep. An anonymous note: Thank you.

She's found him. A serial killer who's been leaving breadcrumbs only she can see. A killer who's been cleaning up his work--knowing she'll clean up after him. A killer who wants her to follow.

And follow she must. No matter how terrifying the trail becomes.
