Even before she tripped over a dead body, Jeanie's hen weekend hadn't exactly been going according to plan.
***
They DID promise her a killer hen weekend...
Jeanie’s getting married, and – despite her completely impossible four sisters – her best friends Clio and Amber are determined to give her a bachelorette weekend to remember. They’re in matching pink T-shirts and the drinks are flowing...
But the night turns out to be unforgettable for all the wrong reasons when a girl turns up dead on the dancefloor. And – even though she’s a stranger – she is wearing one of Jeanie’s hen T-shirts.
Who is she? And why are the police convinced that the hens are involved? Can the newly-formed Bad Girls Detective Agency solve the murder? And in time to get Jeanie up the aisle?
Unputdownable mystery set on the English coast.

This book is the second in the Bad Girls Detective Agency series. I enjoyed the first book, How Not to Murder Your Ex, and you can read my review here.
It was nice to be reacquainted with the three main characters, Jeanie, Clio and Amber. In this book we are introduced to Jeanie's sisters and their mum, brought together for her hen night. I enjoyed reading about the siblings and their inevitable rivalries and this added a little something extra to the book.
Despite this being the night before Jeanie's wedding, when they discover a dead body in the nightclub the three women decide to investigate. As an ex-police officer, Amber is determined they solve the crime and find the killer before the police do.
There are some nice twists and turns during the book, which made for a fun, and entertaining read. Although the plot is centered around a murder, what I like about this novel is it does not take itself too seriously. It is an amusing, enjoyable and quick read.
Overall, the book is about the friendship between these three strong women and I liked watching this bond strengthen. Anyone who likes a cosy mystery centred around middle aged women will enjoy this book.
