About this listen

A missing teenager, a mysterious cult and a case of mistaken identity - just another day’s work for Epiphany Bloom.

Epiphany ‘Pip’ Bloom is down on her luck. She can barely afford cat food, and just because Most has three legs doesn’t mean he eats any less. So she absolutely can’t afford to mess up her latest temp job. But when she walks through the door of the private investigation firm, her new boss mistakes her for a missing persons expert. He then charges her with finding Matty Price - the teenage son of two A-list celebrities - who has mysteriously disappeared from his home in Kensington.

It ought to be a disaster, but Pip reckons it’s actually an opportunity. She’s always been curious (nosy, her mother calls it) and has an uncanny knack for being at the wrong place at the right time (she doesn’t want to know what her mother thinks of that). After years of trying to find something she’s good at, has Pip managed to walk straight into the job she was born to do?

She owes it to herself and poor missing Matty to find out.

But searching for Matty takes Pip into the strange, intimidating world of the rich and famous. And it soon becomes clear that some of these people’s love for themselves doesn’t extend to their fellow humans.

As Pip investigates further, she realizes the question isn’t whether Matty ran away - it’s whether Pip will find him alive and make it home safely herself....

An absolutely brilliant, light-hearted cozy mystery for fans of M.C. Beaton, T E Kinsey, Lauren Elliott, and Joanne Fluke, featuring an irresistible new heroine.

Fun and entertaining

Generally speaking, I do not like the trope of somebody sneaking in and putting themselves. However, the story is well written and has nothing imagination to overcome this. I enjoyed the story and the characters. The acting was very good.

I loved the story of Pip (Epiphany), an out of work, fan of celebs, with a record of failed romances and employment, who then is mistaken as a private investigator. She's in over her head, but digs in (months late on rent) and by wit and by accident actually fixes the case. Endearing, brave-foolish, funny with a touch of serious. It's a rollick of a story. Once started I couldn't stop reading.

A so funny-serious mystery

Gayle’s story is fun-filled and engaging. Epiphany is an original. And the rest of the characters are also well-done.

Campbell’s narration keeps us thoroughly entertained with a flawless performance of the many voices and accents.

Next please

Fun and mysteries

I like Katie Gayle's other book so I thought I would give this one a chance. I couldn't relate to the story and character's actions were unbelievable. I didn't find it amusing at all.

Not for me
