About This Book

Single mother and struggling comedian Tilly Turner returns to her Idaho hometown seeking a fresh start with her twin daughters after her career implodes and her mother passes away. When she enrolls in a pole-dancing class for distraction, she finds herself caught in circumstances far beyond what she bargained for. After a night out with her new classmates leaves her with a memory gap and a corpse in her car trunk, Tilly must navigate the treacherous waters of amateur sleuthing while juggling motherhood, rekindling old rivalries, and resisting the charms of an attractive federal agent.

Helen Laser delivers a masterful narration that captures both the comedy and tension inherent in Lowry's story. Her voice brings authentic warmth to Tilly's character while maintaining the perfect pace for both laugh-out-loud moments and suspenseful revelations. Laser skillfully differentiates between characters without relying on exaggerated accents, creating distinct voices that feel natural and believable. The audio format enhances the intimate, conversational tone of Tilly's internal monologue, making listeners feel like confidantes in her chaotic world. Laser's timing amplifies the humor while never undermining the genuine stakes of the mystery.
