THE NUMBER 1 IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER

‘Beautiful, dark, visceral.’ Andrea Mara, Sunday Times bestselling author of No One Saw a Thing

‘The Cleaner is a masterclass in tension.’ Jennie Godfrey, Sunday Times bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things

‘A heart-thumping thriller packed with exciting twists.’ Daily Mail

It's not dust she's looking for. It's dirt.

Esmie is meant to be invisible.

Just a cleaner with a foreign accent that no one quite has time to place, and a uniform of leggings and a duster that allows her to explore the homes of the wealthy Woodlands gated community, unnoticed.

Which is exactly what she wants. Because Esmie isn’t really a cleaner.

One of the residents of Woodlands has ruined her life. And when she finds out who, she’s going to make them pay . . .
