About this listen

Dastardly deeds, daring deceptions and a dress to die for... Epiphany Bloom is back on the case!

Epiphany "Pip" Bloom, would-be detective and London’s unluckiest woman, finds herself in a real costume drama when she unearths a theft at a fashion museum.

The missing dress is a proper piece of Hollywood history, worth a fortune. And as Pip investigates, she finds the museum staff all had reasons to want the garment gone. From fancy boutiques to sketchy back alleys, Pip discovers the fashion world is not all glitz and glamour as she hunts down her prize. As if she doesn’t have enough on her plate, Pip also has her growing feelings for her housemate Tim to contend with, a family of cats to feed and her mother keeps phoning about a shipment of llamas arriving any day now from South America.

But there’s no time for distractions because Pip’s not the only one after the dress. And for the most dedicated collectors, a piece like this is worth any price – even murder...

A laugh-out-loud, light-hearted cozy mystery for fans of M.C. Beaton, T.E. Kinsey, Lauren Elliott and Joanne Fluke, that will have you reading late into the night.

Critic reviews

Tremendous fun!... this book has a proper and thoroughly developed mystery plot... It’s a very definite yes from me for Pip Bloom and her fledgling investigative career – I can’t wait to read more!
-- It Takes a Woman

A great escapism read, funny, entertaining and easy to read. It reminded me of younger Agatha Raisin who I love and Pip is a genuinely warm and comical character... Great fun, I loved it!
-- Karen Reads and Recommends

I laughed out loud over just about every one of Flis and Pip’s conversations. There was extremely clever writing and the plot points that came out of them were unique and interesting. Consider me a fangirl, avidly awaiting additional adventures for Pip.
-- Fireflies and Free Kicks

Quaint but predictable

I preferred the first one. This was a bit more predictable toward the end. She is a clever writer but Pip should have easily identified the culprit.

Epiphany Irritating

I love Katie Gayle’s Julia Bird series and eagerly await the next book. However, now on book 3 of Epiphany Bloom I have decided that I will not bother with the next in the series. Pip has got to be the most irritating nice person out there, her inability to secure a job or choose whether she wants either of the men in her life as lovers or keep them both as friends, overshadows the investigations she gets involved with. Please grow her as a character!

Pip’s growth from book 1

Hi I loved this book. It was funny and poignant. Pip’s personal growth had me really rooting for her.
