Description
Get ready for a wild ride with Brenda Munroe in Strapped for Cash. Broke and alone, this street-smart cynic is about to discover that family is about more than just blood or money. But when her carefully crafted life crumbles in London, Brenda has to rely on her sharp instincts to survive.
With an aversion to the nine-to-five grind, Brenda opens a residential school for girls, teaching them the tricks of the trade she's learned over the years - all without resorting to sleeping with wealthy men. But as she passes on her street-smart skills, will Brenda finally learn that family means more than just the relations you're born with?
Strapped for Cash is a laugh-out-loud book full of historic art thefts, extortion, and politically charged B&D. Join Brenda on her mission to take down the British aristocracy one prat at a time and discover why this rollicking tale is a must-read for anyone looking for a thrilling and entertaining escape.
Although part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone.

Person
Andrene's love of writing was instilled in her by her mother, although if her mum was still alive, she'd be smacking Andrene around the back of the head given the direction some of her writing has taken. It's irreverent, cutting and reflects her background as a stand-up comic. As well as being laugh out loud funny it can be edgy, and even dark in places. Andrene lives in New Zealand in the beautiful Hawke's Bay - an area renowned for its stunning scenery and award-winning wines.
