Cute, enjoyable read. Stand-alone story with a subtle lead into the next book.

I have never laughed so much reading a murder mystery! Charlie is a klutz and totally owns it. She quits her job in a grocery store and ends up working for a security/PI firm. There she learns her childhood friend turned arch nemesis is being investigated for the murder of his rich uncle. Charlie would like to believe he did it, but just can’t, so she sets out to prove his innocence. The rest you’ll have to find out. You won’t be disappointed!!!

But I really liked it. Her style of writing took me a bit to get used to, but once I got into it's rhythm I didn't want to stop. The cast of characters is relatable and well rounded. The story line had me guessing until the end. Very enjoyable reading!

Extremely good writing. I had to read slowly so not to miss any puns, jokes, jabs.

Charlie Davies gives hope to klutzes. Despite regularly sporting bruises from her inability to avoid hurting herself, she somehow manages to stay alive. When she quits her job at a seedy grocery store, she stumbles into a better job at an investigation firm. This puts her in the perfect position to investigate a childhood friend whom she can’t stand anymore for murder. But does she want him to be guilty? And will she survive her own lack of grace as she rushes into dangerous situations? The author offered a crash course in Australian slang as well as many laughs as Charlie pursued opportunities to bruise and break herself.

Don’t waste your time. Move on.

This book was hard to put down and had moments that made me laugh out loud which is a feat. I haven’t laughed like this since I read the Calamity Jayne series. I will definitely be purchasing the next book and the rest of this series provided it continues to be as funny and entertaining as this one.

LOL! The clumsy protagonist in this story was quite comedic and the book was so well written that I clearly visualized every scene. I giggled.. Sometimes outright laughing.. throughout the book!
