A birthday night out turns into a missing-person mystery

Spring brings Rachel a welcome change at the school playground, but a birthday outing with Natasha and Frankie leaves the group facing more than the expected morning-after regrets. When someone goes missing, a cryptic Instagram post, patchy memories and CCTV footage draw Rachel and Frankie back into amateur sleuthing as the Jam Sandwich Detectives. Their inquiries involve questioning other mums and renewing ties with the police, while suspicions grow around a night that was not what it seemed. The setup combines a missing-person investigation with friendships and social connections among the women at its center.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy cozy crime and amateur-sleuth mysteries.
  • Readers interested in crime stories centered on mothers, friendships and social entanglements.
  • Readers looking for a mystery sparked by a birthday night out and a missing person.

Book overview

The mums are back... with the hangover from hell!

 

After a few socially awkward months at the school playground (being accused of murder will do that), Rachel is relieved that spring has finally arrived. Even more surprising? Natasha is being nice. Suspiciously nice.

 

So when Rachel and Frankie are invited to Natasha's Boozy Bingo birthday night out, they do what any sensible mums would do: assume the worst... then go anyway. But the morning after brings hangovers, regrets... and a missing person.

 

With a cryptic Instagram post and hazy memories, panic sets in fast. Even more so when DI Harding shares CCTV footage of a hooded figure leaving the hotel.

 

Dragged back into sleuthing (and loving every second), Rachel and Frankie reform The Jam Sandwich Detectives, questioning hungover mums, reigniting old friendships with the police, and discovering that everyone is hiding something.

 

As evidence piles up and suspicions multiply, one thing becomes clear: this was no ordinary night out... and someone is running out of time.

 

nlucky for Some is a laugh-out-loud cozy crime packed with amateur sleuthing and the kind of trouble only mums on a night out could land themselves in. It's perfect for fans of Motherland, The Thursday Murder ClubandBad Sisters.
