I haven’t read such an engaging and compelling mystery novel in quite some time. This is uniquely positioned and brilliantly paced to keep you on the edge of your sofa. I loved our main character and would really enjoy reading more about her. Recommend!

CS Robertson has taken a character that is usually a sidenote in other books and made her the focus and the hero in THE UNDISCOVERED DEATHS OF GRACE McGILL. Grace McGill has a job that most people would not do. She cleans death sites when a body has not been recovered until decomp has set in. But her latest job......well, she's sure there is something more to the death and she is going to find it. What a different experience looking at the crime scenes through Grace's eyes! The story line is unique but the writing is skillful and will keep you guessing until the end.

Grace was the perfect unreliable narrator for this complex, poignant and non-prescriptive examination of the realities of loneliness. Whose responsibility is another person’s loneliness? And does anyone deserve it..?

The cast of characters brought so many layers to the conversation and I really appreciated that none of them behaved how you’d expect them to, considering their ages and life circumstances.

Grace is definitely a protagonist that will stay with me. The ending fit the rollercoaster she led us through perfectly. I am so looking forward to reading more from C.S. Robertson.

The premise of this book was so intriguing. The writing was really descriptive. The ending was brilliant and thought provoking. The character of Grace was fascinating.

This was an unusual idea with a well developed, main character - who blurs the line between who is good and who is bad! Would recommend.

Thank you Hodder & Stoughton and Netgalley and sorry for the delay in reviewing.
I loved this book, it reminded me a bit of Rear Window.
Well written, good characters and I would like to read more by this author.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, I particularly found the intricacies surrounding Grace's job fascinating. However, it did fall a little too far on the predictable side for me, hence the missing star. That said, I would not hesitate to pick up another book written by this author.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my copy of this unusual read.

This is the first book I have read of this author and I’m glad I did. This book was very dark but thrilling.

Many thanks to Netgalley and C.S. Robertson for the advanced copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I found it to be sad but fascinating and hard to put down. Its very cleverly written and full of lots of twists and turns. Definitely not one for the faint hearted.

Well what can I say…..a strange but good book. When i started i wasn’t sure about it, few pages in and i was hooked. Halfway through i felt like i had missed something and went back a few pages to check. I hadn't, the twists are just very twisty!!

A really good read, strange, twisty, very different but very good.

An enjoyable read, full of unguessable twists. Very cleverly written and an unforgettable central character.

I absolutely loved this book!!

Grace is a cleaner but not the regular kind, she cleans scenes of death. Whilst cleaning these houses she stumbles upon a mystery and becomes determined to solve it. Grace was such an interesting character, she may be a social recluse but her voice in this story really drew me in.

Highly recommend

I didn't really like this book. I had high hopes as many of my fellow reviewers loved it. I think it just my personal preference and not the fault of the author. I just felt that it went on a bit too long. I enjoyed getting to know Grace but it just didn't keep my attention.

While the premise intrigued me. Sadly this didn't end up working for me.
I found myself bored early on. With it taking half the book for me to start to care. But sadly that didn't last very long.
The writing was fast paced. Which helped a little. But overall something was missing.

The book features a very entertaining premise. We are all intrigued by crime, true crime and corpses. Grace has the perfect job for this, that being a crime scene cleaner. This was really a thrilling read, and I hope there is more in future.

I enjoyed reading this, characters were very believable and I loved the storyline. Gripping, interesting and recommended
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion

I could not put this down! The whole premise was so unique and kept me hooked throughout.
Grace’s character was really well rounded and I loved that although she’s a bit of a shy loner - she was also absolutely ruthless.

The premise of this book is one of a kind, definitely worth a read!

I've heard so much about The Undiscovered Deaths Of Grace McGill that I simply had to read it for myself. CS Robertson is a fantastically talented writer and I felt I was transported almost immediately to the locations both in Glasgow and Rothesay that the author takes us to. The author clearly knows these places really well and describes them in precise detail for us. I also loved the way he observes the lonely lives of the people whose homes Grace cleans.

Our protagonist is Grace McGill, who herself seems to live quite an isolated life. She's a fascinating character and I loved trying to get under her skin to work out what really made her tick. I wouldn't say she was immediately likeable but there were a few points in the novel where I felt able to sympathise with her.

In terms of the plot, The Undiscovered Deaths Of Grace McGill begins as a slow burner, but nevertheless, I remained intrigued as to what would happen next. The story does burst into life part way through and this is where the writing really comes into its own. There are twists and tension and I felt I just had to keep turning the pages!

I've never read anything by this author before but that definitely needs to change!

It took me a little while to get into this one and I found it a bit slow to start…but then things changed suddenly and I couldn’t put it down. I had the feeling that something was coming but not what eventually happened.

A solid read. This one has been on my pile for a little while and recommended adding it to yours.

The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill is an addictive thriller with a phenomenal premise. The characters are well-developed. The atmosphere is haunting throughout. Highly recommended to readers who enjoy twisty thrillers. Be sure to check out The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill today.
