She’s never lost a dead body before. But there’s a first time for everything . . .
Crime-scene cleaner Gabby St. Claire is used to dealing with the aftermath of crimes—not the dead people left behind. But she has bills to pay, so when an opportunity arises to make some extra cash, Gabby agrees to help an acquaintance transport a deceased man from his home to the mortician.
However, before they can move the body, the corpse vanishes into thin air, and Gabby is left holding the bag.
Fearful that negligence on her part could harm her future career choices, Gabby races to find the corpse before anyone discovers he’s missing. But as she searches for clues, she begins to suspect the stiff isn’t the only thing that stinks around here.
Something sinister is underway, and the foul play began even before the man expired. Can Gabby uncover the truth and salvage her future in law enforcement? Or will the half-witted thief disappear for good and take her reputation with him?
***Each novella in the Squeaky Clean In Between Mystery series takes place between the books in the original Squeaky Clean Mystery Series. Half Witted officially takes place between Hazardous Duty and Suspicious Minds.***

My thoughts: Half-Witted is a novella set between two books in one of Ms Barritt's series (and one of my favorite series of hers). It is fun, laugh out loud at times, and seriously eww at other times, and sometimes the characters act not-so-intelligent. But that just adds to the fun. I enjoyed being along for the ride as they tried to figure out who-dun-it, and better yet, why. A great, fast read that you won't be able to put down. I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
