About this listen
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…

The title alone is worthy of winning the Comedy Women in Print prize and the book is just as witty.
A great story, fast paced and fun, with a very relatable protagonist, who shines a light on how a lot of middle-aged mums feel. Although with a more exciting career past than most!
I laughed a lot and raced through it. The narrator did a great job although the credit has to go to Faye Brann for writing such a brilliant book. I can’t wait for her next one.
A worthy winner of the Comedy Women in Print prize.
