Book description
A light-hearted and comic romp from the nation's favourite storyteller
and author of The Loner.
Footloose, fancy free and ready to get back in the game, newly divorced
Ben is back home with mum which is just where she wants him. But best
mate Dickie has other ideas, and soon they are sharing a flat, up to all
sorts and plotting Ben's future romantic adventures.
But being single isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Ben staggers from one disaster to another - all under the beady gaze of
his ex, who may not want him but doesn't want anyone else to have him
either! And then there's Ben's co-worker Poppy, who seems very
interested in his escapades too - could she have plans of her own?
Laugh-out-loud funny and based on true stories that you just couldn't
make up, Divorced and Deadly is the perfect feel-good read. Praise for
Josephine Cox:

It's a perfect book to while away an afternoon. Just make sure you hide

too.' News of the World

'Cox's storytelling is persuasive and absorbing and her characters are
easy to relate to.' Cambrian News Josephine Cox was born in Blackburn,
one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married
her husband Ken, and had two sons. When the boys started school, she
decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge
University. She was unable to take this up as it would have meant living
away from home, but she went into teaching - and started to write her
first full-length novel. She won the 'Superwoman of Great Britain'
Award, for which her family had secretly entered her, at the same time
as her novel was accepted for publication.
