Favorite Quotes:

The ceremony was lovely, and I swear I saw my brother surreptitiously brush away a tear. Something I will file away for future use, should I need some extra leverage.

The soft-spoken young man with his pock-marked face is like my dealer, the brown bag he hands me the fix I need to soothe my soul. My favorite kind of drug— French fries.

I’m as worn out as a cucumber in a convent.

I grind my teeth, my partner has a finely honed sixth sense for PMS, which he claims is imperative for survival in his family. He has a sister, a wife, and two teenage daughters… he explained, being a man, he couldn’t be held accountable for pissing me off, if he didn’t have fair warning. He actually keeps a calendar on his phone.

Going to see the in-laws; pray for my soul, theirs are beyond saving.

… after being verbally and very publicly eviscerated by my normally sweet wife in the throes of labor— not once, but twice— I think I’ll take a pass… I’d still rather have a vasectomy with a spoon than go through one more childbirth with Beth.


My Review:

I have become an avid Freya Barker reader and greedily await the arrival of each new book as she has a uniquely appealing and amusingly observant writing style that never fails to please or entertain. Her clever characters are admirable and hard-working everyday heroes who are also the type of flawed and complex creatures I would enjoy spending time with.   Add in an intriguing serial murder mystery, corruption, a large and loud meddling family for levity, and sensual chemistry that sets of the smoke alarm for a bonus - and I am a happy camper.
