When amateur sleuth Cassidy Blair is given the task of trying out a beauty salon for the dancers at The Pussycat Club, it’s difficult to explain why she finds herself waking up the next morning on a local beach, at sunrise, naked apart from some awkward sunburn, and a pathetic story about a lost dog.
With one of her friends dead, and her birthday coming up, Cassidy is too busy trying to squeeze herself into a tiny dress, caring for her new dog, Hellhound, not to mention guiding her recently detoxed friend Neil away from a crisis over his newly clean life to notice that she’s caught the attention of some very unsavoury characters.
In The Lady Splash, Cassidy Blair eventually ends up stuck in a cellar with no sign of escape. Then she discovers how much she really needs her friends.

My only disappointment with this book is the uncertainty of whether there will be any more. I love Cassidy, I love Sam, I love everyone in these books and I desperately want to read another one. Please, Kirsty, write more!!!
I really enjoyed this bubbly and straight to the point novel! I loved the drama and the complicated lives of the unique and troubled characters, will defiantly look into more of the series!
