It’s a dirty job but some idiots are going to do it!
In Alex Franklyns second novel she moves into a comedy, gangster crime caper, where we meet John and Billy (Biben), who are quite the disaster area when asked to perform most duties let alone taking on board the role of cleaners for a rogue hitman Daniel. Both dissatisfied with only being warehouse workers for the London Docklands lady mobster Ruby Girthwaite (who wouldn’t trust them to handle a door knob let alone a deal) they look for additional work to pay the bills. The local hood pub landlord puts them in contact with his old mate Daniel who is desperate for a couple of people to ‘work after hours’.
Things start to go awry when they realise that their rouge hitman turns out to have his vendetta against their main boss Ruby due to some unfinished business, definitely resulting in a conflict of interest for them. With the long suffering police detective chasing after Ruby for years they hope to catch her via the pub landlord, John and Billy. With the hits going wrong and information being leaked, the confusion leads to some ridiculous and unexpected turns of events.
Trigger warnings: profanity, some inappropriate comments, total lack of respect for some pc values, stupid, brain candy and absolutely no intellectual nutritional value in this book whatsoever… like chocolate cake.

Cleaners Wanted by Alex Franklyn is a sharp, witty, and thrilling read that blends humor, crime, and gangster drama into a delightful page-turner. Set against the backdrop of an unusual and often hilarious premise, the novel takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the world of misfit criminals, each with their own quirks and dark secrets.
The story follows an eccentric group of individuals who, in a twist of fate, end up working together in a cleaning crew—only to find themselves entangled in far more dangerous and criminal activities than they ever imagined. Franklyn masterfully crafts a narrative full of snappy dialogue, quirky characters, and dark humor, all while weaving in crime and gangster elements that add intensity and suspense.
What stands out in Cleaners Wanted is the way Franklyn balances humor with the tension of criminal undertones. The characters are delightfully flawed, making them both endearing and unpredictable. Their oddball personalities and the bizarre situations they find themselves in make for a highly entertaining read. Despite the criminal undertones, the book never takes itself too seriously, allowing the humor to shine through even in the most dangerous scenarios.
Franklyn’s writing style is sharp and engaging, with vivid descriptions and fast-paced action scenes that keep you hooked. The book’s plot unfolds with enough twists and turns to keep readers guessing, while also providing moments of levity that offer a refreshing contrast to the intensity of the crime genre.
Overall, Cleaners Wanted is a fun and entertaining read for anyone who enjoys humor laced with crime and a touch of gangster drama. Alex Franklyn delivers a unique blend of comedy and suspense, making this a book worth picking up for a delightful, action-packed escape.
