In one day, I went from halfway through the book to the end. This book is hilarious! I read Looking for La La last year, so I knew the main characters from that first book. You could read this as a stand alone, but I highly recommend Looking for La La!Cathy is back to the working world, after having stayed home with the kids for years. She's working with a pregnant Rosa in the land of advertising. Cathy has pretty much no clue what she's doing, but it's all good. She's got Rosa. Well, Rosa has to go on bed rest, Cathy's got a huge presentation to make, and she's got someone out to get her who messes up that huge presentation and gets her sacked!Her husband Declan is going through some kind of crisis and quits his job, so Cathy can't tell him she's been fired. She finds lots of ways to kill the time and while she's at it, she investigates the Crouch End Creeper. The Creeper has been burglering houses in Crouch End and one of Cathy's friends husbands may be a suspect. Or could it be one of her friends? Or maybe it's the new business owners. Cathy's friends are determined that she solve the case.There is so much hilarity in this book, I just can't even begin to explain it! Cathy is a riot...not that she tries to be. She does ridiculous things and tells tons of little white lies that usually end up getting her into trouble. Her friends play great supporting roles in the story. All of the characters are great. Declan's crisis and how Cathy describes his actions to her friends cracked me up. I love her new neighbor and hope she is in some more of the books :) The creeper case was just an added bonus. Even without the mystery this book would have been great. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes fun chick lit with a bit of mystery.I received a copy free for an honest review which I've given.
