Description
Brooke’s a gorgeous young mum who lives in Essex. Her favourite things in life:
1. Her baby, Paige
2. Her husband, Dean
3. Chardonnay
4. Hot tubs
5. OK! magazine
All that’s missing is the hot tub. Brooke’s bored at home and wants financial independence, but mostly a hot tub, and Dean’s a man with traditional values and he doesn’t want Brooke to work. She secretly takes a job at a nearby country house, meeting the incorrigible Lady Townsend. This unlikely friendship, plus some jaw-dropping events, helps Brooke realise that she’s capable of so much more than she thought.
Dean is a devoted husband and father, and, knowing what Brooke wants most of all in life, he secretly takes up mystery shopping hoping to make some extra money to pay for it. And if he gets some peace and quiet whilst doing so, all the better.
The elaborate web of lies they both weave results in numerous madcap situations, but can their deceit undermine the love that they have?

Thank you NetGalley, Helen E. Field and Cameron Publicity & Marketing Ltd for the ARC of The Mystery Shopper & The Hot Tub. This is my personal review.
This book has a little bit of everything in it. The book is a quick easy read and one that I think a lot of people will like and knowing it is Book One Of The De'ath Family Antics makes it even better. The next is going to be a book to look forward to reading
Jeannette K, Reviewer
I must admit I had a hard time getting through the first chapters. Brooke is a young mother, married to Dean who is adamant she does not have to work. He will support her and give her all she needs and wants. And Brooke wants... a hot tub. They cannot afford a hot tub, so Dean secretly goes to work as a mystery shopper. Cue all the antics.
The story is quite easy to read once you get past your shock about the chauvinism. I sometimes laughed out loud. Fortunately there is an epilogue that explains some things... otherwise you will think you are left hanging. You can click on a link at the end of the book!
Overall: not exactly my cup of tea but I liked it! 3,5 stars.
