    About this audiobook

    A funny, fabulous, cozy mystery filled with quirkiness and a sweet serve of lesbian romance.

    Bess Campbell has escaped to the windswept Australian coastal town of Port Bannir, determined to begin her life again. She is loving her fresh start, thanks to her fun job running a hip gallery, her territorial chickens, and a lot of self-help books to find her new, better self.

    Port Bannir local Margaret Gale runs an austere maritime museum, and rules her staff with an iron fist. She has no time for that crazy modern gallery or upbeat, earnest Bess sweeping around town on her hipster bicycle.

    After a heated dispute over an antique collectible dildo, there's little hope Margaret and Bess will ever see eye to eye. But when Port Bannir is rocked by a senseless murder, both women find themselves implicated. Can they work together to expose the truth-or will the truth prove far too dangerous?

    Contains mature themes.

      I really enjoyed this book. Good story good narrator. Didn’t know in the first chapter and then enjoyed.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this ice queen/small town/enemies to lovers romance very much. It combines an engaging crime story with a slow burn romance between two very interesting women.
      Bess has just moved to the small town of Port Bannir, determined to embrace positive living after a difficult event in her recent past. Margaret is the frosty, older owner of the local Maritime museum, in direct competition with the business where Bess works. When developers move in, and a close contact is murdered, their worlds are turned upside down in more than one way. They are soon amongst the murder suspects, thus being drawn into solving the mystery whether they like it or not.
      This was amusing, gripping, touching and romantic. The cast of supporting characters is great, including my new favourite lesfic pet Genghis the Rooster.
      If you like lots of love scenes, this may not be for you, but it ticks many other boxes. Recommended!
    • 5/5
      It is a fun book, that grows on you. The title is spot on, and a liked the twists and turns being understated and not being theatrical.
