Think of a task utterly out of your league. Now imagine being forced to do it. You can't bail, nor can you fail!
Pete, a twenty-eight-year-old janitor working at Wimberway High school, catches a whiff of death during work one day. Wait, death or murder? How would a janitor know?
When Pete informs the principal about it, he is threatened with termination if he digs any deeper. Why is the principal so defensive? Pete suspects it's because he's involved in the murder, but the full picture remains unclear.
Follow Pete as he secretly seeks proof to avenge the crime. Witty talks, sneaky spots, cheesy tricks and mediocre tips; he'll need it all and more to pull this one off...

For a debut author, the story is written in a nice flow and the suspense at the end of each chapter was really good! Love how all the characters came together at the end to give a clear picture of the story with all endings tied up.

I absolutely loved the plot, the suspense, and the characters. While there’s some room for improvement, it’s still a great book to curl up with, coffee in hand, and just relax. The mystery, and the genre in general, really gets me going, even though I usually lean more toward nonfiction. I see a lot of potential here for the story to grow into something even bigger and better.
Good job to the author! And to anyone thinking of giving it a try, I highly recommend it.
