Live and Let Fry

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Feisty, forty-something and fearless, Cass Tuplin isn't exactly the Sherlock Holmes type. Yet, as Rusty Bore's peer-appointed private investigator, she just can't seem to avoid ending up in hot water.

For Cass Tuplin, proprietor of the Rusty Bore Takeaway (and definitely not an unlicensed private investigator), it's weird enough that her neighbour Vern's somehow acquired a lady friend. But then he asks Cass to look into the case of the dead rats someone's dumped on Joanne's doorstep.

She's barely started when Joanne goes missing, leaving hints of an unsavoury past. Then a private investigator from Melbourne turns up asking questions about Joanne's involvement in a fatal house fireβ€”and before you can say unauthorised investigation Cass is back on the case.

Live and Let Fry by Sue Williams is praised for its comforting and wildly entertaining nature, similar to visiting lively relatives. The book is noted for its self-awareness and a fresh take on a crime hero, offering escapism where good triumphs over evil. Sue Williams is compared to Janet Evanovich, highlighting her comedic and engaging storytelling with a protagonist whose humour matches the dry Australian landscape.
