Summary
Meet Mavis Upton. As mummy to 7-year old Ella and surrogate to far too many pets, and with a failed marriage under her belt, Mavis knows she needs to make some life-changing decisions. It's time to strike out into the world, to stand on her own two feet ...to pursue a lifelong ambition to become a police officer. I mean, what could go wrong?
Supported by her quirky, malapropism-suffering mum, Mavis throws herself headlong into a world of uncertainty, self-discovery, fearless escapades, laughter and extra-large knickers. And using her newly discovered investigative skills, she reluctantly embarks on a search to find her errant dad who was last seen years before, making off with her mum's much needed coupon for a fabulous foam cup bra all the way from America.
Follow Mavis as she tackles everything life can throw at her, and revel in Gina Kirkham's humorous, poignant and moving story of an everyday girl who one day followed a dream.

Brilliant
Got this book knowing nothing about the story or the author.
So funny from start to finish. I could relate with many of the stories.
Left on a cliffhanger, I’m definitely going to see if the next book is out and get that too.
Brilliant.

Fast and funny
I loved this audio book. Light and funny with the lightest touch of sadness. Not a listen to give me nightmares for a change.

Funniest book ever
Some books make you giggle occasionally, some make you laugh out loud in places …. With this one it’s non stop! Read brilliantly too. Great book. Will read more from the author. Highly recommended.

Hilariously funny.
I don’t think I have listened to anything so funny. What a vivid imagination and I’m sure spun round some of her experience’s. My husband was in the Police Force and he can tell a few tales.
Narration was superb.
A very good feel good factor, so if you’re feeling a bit down this is one for you…

humour
An easy going giggle at life's emotional ups, downs & challenges. Gives some thought provoking insights to aspects of Police work - I hadn't previously considered.

Brilliant
Brilliant narration by Diana Croft (definitely will look for more of her work)
Wonderful writing, witty and sad. Literally laughing out loud at the funny bits, which there are many.
Definitely wish there was a sequel, love to hear the further adventures of Mavis Upton
