Publisher's Summary
“Welcome to the National Recovery Bureau, where your assets are as sacred as God’s holy word.”
Vera “Nick” Nicholson is an overtaxed and underpaid attorney wasting away on the bottom rung of the gilded ladder at Turner, Witherspoon, Anders, and Tyler, PA in Winston-Salem, NC. When a high-priced luxury car belonging to one of the firm’s top clients goes missing, Nick gets saddled with the unenviable job of recovering the vehicle - and its mysterious contents - without involving the cops. Enter Fast Eddie and his quirky band of misfits at the National Recovery Bureau, a repo agency located in a sleepy town called K-Vegas.
When Nick is unceremoniously furloughed from TWAT, she throws caution to the wind and signs on to become the newest agent of the NRB, teaming up with moonlighting third-grade schoolteacher Frances “Frankie” Stohler. Frankie’s mortician father and beautician mother are stalwarts of the Winston-Salem community - so it’s no surprise that everyone across three counties has some connection to her family. What is surprising, however, is the Slim Jim Frankie carries in her purse and her preternatural talent for jacking cars.
Nick and Frankie’s stumbling entry into the surreal world of asset recovery takes them on a hilarious, fast-paced, and mind-bending journey across the back roads and byways of the Tar Heel state, setting into motion a chain of misadventures that lead them both toward financial independence, cataclysmic legal jeopardy, and the discovery that true love can sometimes lurk in the most unlikely places.

Solid 75% there
Lesbian Janet Evanovich style caper. Characters didn’t quite grow on me, the southern slang was a little hard to understand, character motivated didn’t quite add up, but nearly did. Neither loved nor hated narrator

So, so funny
This book is hilarious…as are all Ann McMan's books I've read. It would make a fantastic movie. I can see someone on public transport terrifying other passengers as they listen to the audiobook, laughing till they cry. The characters, the story, all just marvellous. Read or listen and enjoy.
