‘I just loved this book… put on a smile on my face’ Libby Page, The Lido

‘Naturally funny… page turning, smart and sassy’ Helen Lederer, comedian, author and founder of the CWIP Prize

‘Fresh and different… and skilfully written’ Yomi Adekoke, Slay in Your Lane

Vicky Turnbull has never regretted giving up her career for family life in the suburbs. And apart from being outstandingly good at paintball, no one would ever know that in a past life she was an undercover spy and has been trained to kill a man with her bare hands. Not even her husband, and certainly not the other mums at the school gate.

But beneath the school runs and bake sales, Vicky had never quite said goodbye to the past. So, when a newcomer on the PTA sets alarms bells ringing and MI5 comes calling, she’s determined to prove that despite her expanding waistline and love of pink gin, she’s still every bit the cold-eyed special operative.

When the assignment gets uncomfortably close to home, Vicky must decide if she has got what the job takes after all, and if home is really where her heart is…

‘Very funny’ – Grace Campbell, comedian and author of Amazing Disgrace

Faye grew up in Essex before running away to drama school to study stage management. After a stint working in London's West End, she headed into events and then marketing, eventually rising to the heady heights of middle management in an advertising and marketing agency. In 2006, Faye moved to Dubai with her husband, where she ditched corporate life in favour of having a baby, performing improvised comedy, and gaining an MA in Professional Writing from Falmouth University.

Now back in London with her family, Faye splits her time between performing in musicals with her local theatre company and working as a freelance copyeditor. Her real passion, though, is for writing novels about (and for) kick-ass women. Her first novel, Tinker, Tailor, Schoolmum, Spy, won the Comedy Women in Print Unpublished Prize in 2020.

A fun and entertaining book!

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

A great read for a mom who has chosen to give up an exciting career for family life and still wondered if she could ever do it ALL again. Light hearted and fun with some mystery and intrigue tucked neatly inside, this book kept me turning the pages and wanting to see what happens next.

This was a quick read. Fun story, intrigue and easy to read. The characters were well developed and it was hard to put down. Highly recommend.

For all the moms, standing on the playground, wishing for the good old days when they were valued for their brains, Vicky is a true hero.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2021

I absolutely loved this book! A great mix of funny and suspense. I couldn’t get enough! I listened to the audible version and many times had to force myself out of the car because I couldn’t stop listening. Hoping for a sequel!

Boring, unfunny, amateurish. It's really quite awful.

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

I was taken in by the good reviews, which are clearly from readers who read a different book altogether. This one is not funny, not thrilling, the action sequences are derivative and unconvincing, and it's written in a rather amateurish style that's aspiring to be cool. If you've read any decent thriller, you're better off re-reading that. Avoid this silly effort.

Being a crazy fan of shows like NCIS, The Blacklist, CSI, etc., this book honestly felt like reading an episode of one of them! It made me giggle(couldn't get enough of Matisse's witty comments) and tear up towards the end. I couldn't seem to put this one down till the end. Loved the plot and it's description(especially since I caught myself visualising everything in detail).

I'd love to read a sequel and definitely wouldn't mind watching this one on the screens!!!

Brilliant!!!

This book was so much fun! A really good idea and the characters are really likable and draw you in. I like that the spy action feels realistic and then ramps up. The sense of danger is real, found I was really tensing up in some of the scenes. Just really well written and fun and engaging. You're not gunna regret reading this book. Since the pandemic, I've been struggling to get back into reading and this is the book that has done it for me.

Entertaining take on stay at home mum reintegrating the workplace

Reviewed in France on September 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

Brings up an interesting theme on how women define themselves and their selfworth through what they do. It was an entertaining read, could easily see this being adapted to film a Bridget Jones vs James Bond style! Well done Faye for your debut novel, look forward to hearing about Victoria's next adventures!

Fun.

A Quirky spy plot with good characters, PTA relationships and family involvement. An easy light hearted read, especially in a deckchair.

Kelly Holland

Fabulous funny and intense

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book was FANTASTIC!! I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. It had such a great mix of comedy and seriousness. Vicky was a brilliant main character. I think anyone who is a Mum can totally relate to her (& anyone who is a spy obviously!)

You could tell the spy side of the story had been thoroughly researched. It all seemed completely authentic and realistic and really grabbed my interest. The storyline had some twists and turns to keep you focused and wow the ending was so tense and dramatic.

I haven't got a bad word to say about this - definitely go grab a copy. It's out now!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me.
