Epiphany ‘Pip’ Bloom is down on her luck. She can barely afford cat food, and just because Most has three legs doesn’t mean he eats any less. So she absolutely can’t afford to mess up her latest temp job. But when she walks through the door of the private investigation firm, her new boss mistakes her for a missing persons expert. He then charges her with finding Matty Price – the teenage son of two A-list celebrities – who has mysteriously disappeared from his home in Kensington.
It ought to be a disaster, but Pip reckons it’s actually an opportunity. She’s always been curious (nosy, her mother calls it) and has an uncanny knack for being at the wrong place at the right time (she doesn’t want to know what her mother thinks of that). After years of trying to find something she’s good at, has Pip managed to walk straight into the job she was born to do?
She owes it to herself and poor missing Matty to find out.
But searching for Matty takes Pip into the strange, intimidating world of the rich and famous. And it soon becomes clear that some of these people’s love for themselves doesn’t extend to their fellow humans.
As Pip investigates further, she realises the question isn’t whether Matty ran away – it’s whether Pip will find him alive and make it home safely herself...
An absolutely brilliant, light-hearted cozy mystery for fans of M.C. Beaton, T E Kinsey, Lauren Elliott and Joanne Fluke, featuring an irresistible new heroine.
First, I want to thank Katie Gayle, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may provide you with this book.
The Kensington Kidnap by Katie Gayle is unlike any criminal investigating into a missing person case you have ever read. Oh no! It is quite refreshing actually! It is comical, will put a smile on your face, and overall a fun read.
Anyone who knows me knows I love all things pop culture, true crime or missing person cases. This book combined my love for pop culture and missing person cases.
Now, it pays to stay up on your celebrity gossip. Pip applied for a temp job and because of her vast knowledge of this one celebrity who was missing got the job. She got the job-however it was not meant for her. I could not stop cracking up laughing.
I loved how Ben was a writer and wrote some novels.
The storyline gets more and more interesting as the book goes on. I loved the tv celeb vegan chef storyline.
The Kensington Kidnap was filled with secrets galore, twists, turns, comical moments that will make you laugh, and shocking accusations make up this great read!
Katie brings awareness to numerous activism causes in this book.
Camilia was too cute and just melted my heart! She loved her Aunty Pip!
Hold on to your seats because this ending is one wild ride!
Fun fact Katie Gayle is actually two authors in one Katie and Gail. I thought that was pretty cool!
