Kiss, Marry, Murder - Paperback

by Faye Brann (Author)

Comedy Women in Print Prize winner and author of Tinker, Tailor, Schoolmum, Spy Faye Brann is back with a new, fast-paced murder mystery series.

TV Reality show host and former journalist Jessica Sinclair quits her job after receiving a death threat and is scratching a living as a private investigator when she discovers the body of her former best friend, Marianne Hughes. Accused of her murder by a police chief with a grudge and devastated that she never got to put her relationship right with Marianne, Jessica sets out to find her killer.

Smelling D-list celebrity blood, the press set up shop outside her front door after news of her involvement with the case is conveniently leaked. Jessica begins to suspect the answer is close to home - perhaps literally. With the help of her two new recruits - bitter divorcee Darcy, and Della, a frozen fish truck driver - Jessica investigates the most likely suspects and ends up revealing uncomfortable secrets.

When more threatening notes arrive, Jessica realises that she really does have a target on her back. Time is running out... Can she find the murderer before they kill her, too?

Set in the leafy environs of Barnes in southwest London, Kiss, Marry, Murder is a fast-paced, suspenseful murder mystery with a humorous twist. Middle aged women are at the heart of this story; the combination of action, sleuthing, wit and heart makes it the perfect feel-good read for commercial fiction fans who enjoy humorous crime, such as the Finlay Donovan series (Elle Cosimano), Vera Wong (Jesse Sutanto) and the Stephanie Plum series (Janet Evanovich).
