The Cleaner

I was expecting this book to be more interesting, overall. Maybe it's just me, but I found the whole story around the gangs of London to be somewhat predictable and old news.

I never understood Milton's motives. He ditches the life he had and ends up spending time with a 15 year old kid and his mother. Who, by the way, are the most stereotypical and eyeroll-worthy characters there could be.

A fairly intriguing story. Not a huge amount of action considering how the book is sold to you. However if you're from England, it will feel really grounding and relatable. Well written with short chapters makes it easy to read for far longer than you intended to.
