About this listen

 Veep meets Agatha Christie in this wickedly funny murder mystery for fans of Richard Osman and Nita Prose


'A hugely entertaining character who is wry, gossipy and completely compelling. Full of twists and turns worthy of a classic mystery novel' ALEX MICHAELIDES, author of The Silent Patient

'Gripping . . . with a wonderful detective readers will be dying to meet again' SOPHIE HANNAH

'A thoroughly modern, Agatha Christie-esque mystery . . . A delightfully escapist page-turner' KIMBERLY MCCREIGHT

'A wry, whipsmart story. Fast, funny, furious' The Australian Women's Weekly


Meet our narrator: witty, nosy, professional weaver of lies - aka ghostwriter for the rich and famous - and now, lander of The Dream Assignment (that is, a politician's tell-all memoir).

Enter Dorothy Gibson: recently toppled Presidential Candidate, aka that woman, the most talked-about person in the country right now (for the wrong reasons).

Add: an invitation to the middle of nowhere, one well-heeled neighbour dying under Suspicious Circumstances, a secret investigation and an unreasonably beautiful man.

This is a story even our ghostwriter wasn't expecting. And for once, it's all hers.


'Jump on the Kemper Donovan train now . . . The Busy Body is a mystery series for the 2020s, and I can see it being adapted for the big screen' The Australian

'It's buzzy, it's smart, it's such a good time' ABC Radio National's The Bookshelf

'An intriguing whodunnit' New Idea

'A delight from start to finish. If you like Agatha Christie you'll love this' ALEX MICHAELIDES

'A highly entertaining mystery with ingenuity and flair aplenty' SOPHIE HANNAH

'A modern take on classic crime fiction which delivers an addictive mix of Dorothy Parker's waspish wit and Agatha Christie's deft hand at ingenious plotting' Library Journal, Starred Review

'As clever as it is hopeful. Original, captivating, and assured' TAYLOR JENKINS REID (on Kemper Donovan's The Decent Proposal)©2024 Kemper Donovan (P)2024 Hachette Australia Pty Ltd Crime Fiction Literature & Fiction Mystery Satire Fiction Comedy Witty
