Insurance is inherently dull, isn't it?

Actuary Una's latest project concerns the projected deaths in seaside resorts. There's an anomaly in her forecasts, threatening her impeccable work reputation. So she needs to work out why there's been a spate of unusual accidental deaths.

And the obvious place to start is in Eastbourne, where her mother's bingo cronies are dropping like flies.

So when a pattern begins to emerge, it's apparent to Una that there's nothing accidental about it...

A fun and enjoyable read.

Una, a determined and numbers-obsessed actuary, spots a pattern in her statistics that has a real-life impact on her Mums life …

The story developed well with the introduction of many characters - it was easy to follow but the names of Chrissie and Cassie were a little confusing at first.

The characters were amusing though there could have been more description of physical attributes and the setting. The dialogue was easy to read and amusing in places.

Some of Una’s observations were very amusing - having worked with several actuaries I would say she’s based on a real person!

Overall 4*
