Introducing Vicky Hill, a suffocatingly single reporter whose attempts at finding the right man and the scoop of a lifetime take a backseat to murder.

The debut of a brand new series set in the sleepy English town of Gipping-on- Plym features sweetly bumbling investigative journalist Vicky Hill, who will do anything to get that front-page story. But the unusual death of local hedge- jumping enthusiast just may lead to Vicky's own deadly downfall.

Mmmm....not what I was expecting - & not in a good way! So I was hoping for a sort of Grace Smith (Liz Evans) & with maybe a touch of Stephanie Plum but seemed to get some weird hybrid of Becky Bloomwood & Agatha Raisin, not good...in fact I looked the author up as I wasn't convinced she wasn't another incarnation of M C Beaton. I don't know how old the author is but at times it seemed like an "old" author trying to be current (which why I'm reminded of M C Beaton!) I mean... Topaz on describing Vicky & her as lesbians says they are "...frightfully modern girls" - a bit twee or what? Can't imagine a twenty-something using that phrase. I didn't find Vicky's dizziness & gullibility endearing & her naivety got on my nerves..... and was I sick of hearing about her virginity!
Disappointing :o(
