Why read it?
1 author picked How to Slay at Work as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a funny book that made me laugh out loud from the start, which may seem odd, as it’s definitely not a cosy crime novel. In fact, it’s a gritty thriller, with some quite dark elements, but definitely leavened by the humour.
I love the fact that the two strong female protagonists are anti-heroines and it’s not clear whether they are working together or against each other. There were a number of twists that I completely missed. And I found the continual switch between the two women’s viewpoints kept me guessing throughout.
A scintillating and enjoyable romp.
From Elizabeth's list on The best books featuring strong women fighting crime together.
