About the book…

The Life Assistance Agency finds itself at a loss after returning from Europe. Ben is determind to stay away from anything involving Angels, when the phone rings to invite them to write the biography of a self-deluded singer from defunct rave group Elev-8.

At his mansion in Sussex they meet the singer’s right-hand man, Billy `blind’ Fury, a retired wrestler, and his beautiful secretary Amber. Both of whom have plans for the Life Assistance Agency far beyond writing down half-recalled anecdotes from the early 90s pop charts…

Unfinished Business is the second novel featuring the Life Assistance Agency. When you’re in trouble whatever you do, don’t give them a call….

If you need help contacting angles, then Scott and Ben could maybe help you!

Angels,however, are an altogether different matter…

Masters of many little things  (just see their business cards!) but hopeless at so much more, The Life Assistance Agency are there at the end of the phone, above a massage parlour , waiting for your call.

Filled with delicious details and allusions to the incidents of Book 1 (have to read that one as well!) this is a properly laugh out loud book where a defunct pop singer from a one hit wonder band brings the agency in to write his biography.

Sensing an opportunity to hit the big time, they leap at the chance,but they attack this job with the enthusiasm and hopelessness they tackle everything else!

Many many thanks to Love Books group tour for this gifted copy and blogtour invite , it’s a story which will keep you reading until the very last page and then left wanting more.

Roll on Book 3! Those Springer Spaniels did a great job raising this author!

  1. This sounds hilarious and very off the wall! Great to hear it’s part of a series of comedic capers. Thanks for the review.
