About this listen

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.

Okay but thank goodness it's a free audiobook. The premise is good but it went on a bit. The narration was okay !
The ending was rushed considering how long the audiobook is (nearly 12 hours) !
lots of loose ends !

Okay....

After listening to a number of American based novels it took a little time to get into this book but once I did I couldn’t help but enjoy the ins and outs of this murder mystery. The characters are diverse and interesting and I recommend this book.
