Riley Thomas is trying to come to terms with life after a traumatic brain injury turned his world upside down. Away from everything familiar in his life-including his crime-scene cleaning ex-fianc e and his career as a social rights attorney-he's determined to prove himself and regain his old life. But when he claims he witnessed his neighbor shoot and kill someone, everyone thinks he's crazy. When all evidence of the crime disappears, even Riley has to wonder if he's losing his mind. Note: While You Were Sweeping is a spin-off mystery written in conjunction with the Squeaky Clean series featuring crime-scene cleaner Gabby St. Claire.
This book falls between Books # 7and 8 in Christy Barritt's Squeaky Clean Series, so you really need to read the previous books in order to really get the complete picture of Riley and Gabby's story. It was really nice, in this novella, to hear Riley's side of the story and to find out why he was moving back to his parents and away from Gabby. I have to say though, that I don't enjoy reading this series quite as much when Gabby and Riley are not working together, with Riley having her back, to solve a mystery. But, it helped us to understand Riley's feelings and fears, and his misguided attempt to "protect her." Will they get back on track? You'll have to read and find out!
