Life with Mrs C

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Summary

Gwen Turner, 29, entrepreneur and part-time barista.

Likes: true-crime podcasts, cheese-based snacks (the more unnaturally orange the better) and constantly refreshing her dating apps.

Dislikes: two-day hangovers, people who refer to themselves as entrepreneurs… and discovering her latest match is actually a serial killer (probably should have put that top of the list).

They say romance is dead, but if Gwen can’t catch the mystery killer who’s targeting every man she’s ever dated, it’s about to get a whole lot deadlier.

Review

From the start this book was hilariously brilliant! Told from Gwens point of view, she recounts bad dates, finds herself in precarious situations, and adds a very Bridget Jones hilarity to the story.

Downloading a dating app to try and find a date for her best friends wedding and to get over her ex boyfriend, she endures a series of bad dates blocking each match as fast as she can after each one!

When a series of murders occur, and the victims all have one thing in common – they all went on a date with Gwen – she quickly becomes prime suspect while she fights to find who the real killer is!

For the most part a very easy and enjoyable read, and the identity of the killer in the end threw me completely. The writing was good, especially the chapters that gave us a “fly on the wall” pic of her disastrous dates which were more hilarious than the last.
