Blurb
The laughter continues to flow in Gina Kirkham’s brilliant sequel to the wonderful Handcuffs, Truncheon and a Polyester Thong.
Our hapless heroine Constable Mavis Upton is preparing to step down the aisle with her fiancé Joe, but has to deal with her temperamental teen daughter, as well as investigate a serial flasher on a push bike. Throw a diva drag queen into the mix and readers can expect the usual hilarious Mavis mishaps that made the first book such a hit.
Revel in Gina Kirkham’s humorous, poignant and moving stories of an everyday girl who one day followed a dream.
My Review
I received a copy of this book from Kelly at Love Books Group Tours, in return for an honest review. If you think I’m not always honest in my reviews, you probably haven’t been here very long.
I was looking forward to this one, the blurb made me giggle so I had high hopes for the book itself.
And my hopes were not disappointed. I laughed so much I think I hurt something in my chest. Gina Kirkham writes about the trials and tribulations of life, being a police officer and a parent, with a humour that makes even the most difficult situations less painful and finds the humour even in the hardest times. Her character, Mavis Upton is down to earth and likeable, a good copper, who finds humour in life, no matter what the disaster, coping with her dad’s dementia, and investigating the Dodgy Doughnutter plaguing the women of the village, with the same good cheer and devotion to duty.
I definitely recommend this one.

About the Author
Gina Kirkham was born on the Wirral in the not-so-swinging 50’s. Being the less adventurous of three children, she remains there to this day. Trundling a bicycle along a leafy path one wintry day, a lifelong passion to be a police officer gave her simultaneously an epiphany and fond memories of her favourite author Enid Blyton and moments of solving mysteries. Thus began an enjoyable and fulfilling career with Merseyside Police. On retirement she put pen to paper to write a book based on her experiences as a police officer. And so Mavis Upton was born…
