I loved the humour and the characters. The who dunnit part of the story was very good. A tiny bit too woke here and there but that didn't stop my enjoyment. if you liked the first two books you will definitely like this one. Who knew the wrestling world could be so interesting.

Funny and poinient, a good mystery

Another great catch up with these characters. I really enjoy the character descriptions and the storyline that you just have to follow. I find the relationship between Clare and Sophie really interesting, because sometimes you think they're a great team and within a paragraph they can sound like they're destroying each other, this makes their whole dynamic fascinating. I'm so curious into what actually happened to Sophie and with each book you get a small insight into her back story which is really clever of the writer.
Over all another hilarious and sometimes sad story which is utterly compelling! Please can we have another soon!

Another wonderful adventure for Clare and Sophie

I've been enjoying the story a lot and have always enjoyed Alice Bell's brand of humour.

However my enjoyment of this particular Audiobook as a whole has been let down a bit by the quality control of the recording and editing. I've not finished it yet at the time of writing this but I have already counted at least 3 different instances of lines very obviously being repeated, like another take was not properly split or cut in editing.

Enjoyable story let down by recording quality control
