The Cleaner

A Novel

De: Mary Watson

Narrado por: Tara Egan-Langley

It’s not dust she’s looking for . . . it’s dirt.

Esmie is meant to be invisible. A cleaner for an exclusive gated neighborhood in Ireland, Esmie fades into the background, slipping in and out of kitchens and closets, quietly observing her clients’ perfect domestic lives. These entitled families only see a quiet woman with a mop in hand, who speaks with an accent they don’t bother to place, and this is exactly what she wants.

Esmie is well aware that her employers don’t truly see her. To them, she’s a foreigner who cleans up their messes. But there’s one mess she refuses to clean up. Because Esmie is not a cleaner. She’s come to this neighborhood for one purpose and one purpose only. Revenge. Armed with a duster and a cunning plan, Esmie could soon find herself entangled with the very people she came to destroy.

The Cleaner exposes the dark underbelly of a protected society, revealing the dirty truths that lie beneath its polished facades of privilege.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Cleaner is the ultimate one-sitting read—a dark and visceral tale that is as much about class and privilege as it is a high-stakes game of obsession and revenge. A sinister, slow-burn of a thriller positively simmering with rage.”―Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of The Paris Widow

“This is the book I’ll be telling everyone to read—lyrically dark and brilliantly unpredictable.”―Washington Post bestselling author Minka Kent

“A heart-thumping thriller packed with exciting twists.”―Daily Mail

Total waste of time.

The Cleaner could have used a Swifter! This book/audio version dragged on and on. I have never been so happy to hear final credits. I give it three stars because of the performance and the last three or four chapters. The rest of the book is a total waste of 11 hours and seventeen minutes. My apologies to author Mary Watson.
