Something for the Weekend (Leo Street, Book 1) cover

Pauline McLynn, who shot to fame playing Mrs Doyle in Father Ted, introduces us to an irresistible female private investigator, Leo Street, in her first crime caper. 'A breezy, humorous debut...fast-moving, entertaining' Sunday Tribune

When private investigator Leo Street is sent to County Kildare to spy on the wife of a loathsome client, she's delighted to be getting away from rainy Dublin and her hopeless, permanently resting actor boyfriend Barry. The one catch is she has to masquerade as a member of a cookery course and the only piece of culinary equipment Leo can handle is a tin opener - Weekend Entertaining Part 1 is daunting to say the least. As she strips away layers of marital infidelity - not to mention several other scandalous secrets - she battles with bread-making and brûlée. But where will it all end - in triumph or tragedy?

SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND'S strength lies in McLynn's witty character portrayal and a very likeable heroine * The List - Glasgow *

'Packed with lively characters and snappy chat' Huddersfield Daily Examiner
'Lots of slapstick and character comedy plus an amicable heroine make for a confident, assured read with the right appeal to ensure that we will probably have more entertainment from the bold Pauline McLynn' Bridlington Free Press
