'Highly enjoyable opener to a new series' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review
Chef Charlie Hunter's arrival in the beautiful Chilterns is the fulfilment of a long-held dream: to open her own restaurant in an idyllic countryside location.
But instead of rural peace and a chance to lick her wounds, Charlie finds something ugly stirring under the chocolate box perfection. When a prominent local builder is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Charlie the outsider becomes a suspect.
And the only way to clear her name seems to be to find out who the real killer is.
Using all the craft Charlie's learned in kitchens – discipline, timing, preparation and grim determination – she will be as relentless in her quest to bring a murderer to justice as she is in creating the perfect meal.

    Bah Humbug! 
It’s almost Christmas and Detective Bunny McGarry is not in the festive spirit. His mood is not improved when an old friend becomes the victim of a violent assault and, for reasons he can’t understand, the police force he is a member of has decided not to investigate. Getting to the bottom of the case ends up putting him on the wrong side of some powerful people. How does all of this involve an Italian heiress who has disappeared? Why is the commissioner of the Gardai seemingly no longer in charge? And why is a certain teenage boy on the rampage swearing bloody vengeance? 
Strap in as things are about to get seriously festive and the big fella is taking no prisoners. Some people have no appreciation of the fundamentals of the Christmas game. 
The Family Jewels is book seven in the Amazon bestselling, critically acclaimed and numerically infuriating Dublin Trilogy.

    Need a laugh, a gasp, or just something to read while you're waiting for the kettle to boil (or, let’s be honest, sat on the loo)? Quickies is a deliciously inappropriate, wildly relatable collection of 15 short stories for grown-ups with short attention spans. From disastrous dates to erotic accidents, accidental ex encounters to spiritual yoga gone wrong, Lauren Hoban serves up bite-sized tales full of awkwardness, lust, and delightfully British chaos. 
Perfect for fans of rude humour, awkward flirtation, and those “I probably shouldn’t be laughing at this” moments. Dip in, wipe your eyes (or whatever else), and carry on with your day.
