When Ella agrees to try help her friend get evidence on a surgeon who molested her, little does she know what she's let herself, and her mental health, in for.
Ella is a fantastic character who I found funny (often when perhaps I shouldn't have,) and interesting. She is Bi-Polar and reading her story was a real eye opener into the condition. One of the main reasons I've enjoyed all of Morgan's books so much is because of her ability to weave mental health issues into her thrillers so effectively. ...more

The story revolves round Ella, a larger than life character in every possible sense. Ella has tried many roles in life but not quite fit into any so when her friend, a private investigator, offers her an undercover assignment she takes on the part enthusiastically.
Buxham’s is a place where privacy, secrecy and sheer indulgence in gluttony takes place. Feeders can happy drool over ladies that are proud of their poundage and who are willing, for a price to take things to another level privately. T ...more

Ella Fitzwilliam is between jobs when her friend Val asks her to take on a job as a PI working at a private members' club, Buxham's. She is to keep an eye on two men in particular, Harry Drysdale and his friend Marcus Carver. Harry is a barrister and Marcus, appropriately, is a cosmetic surgeon, working with ladies who are a little over-endowed. The club caters for men whose tastes run to the larger lady and Ella is appalled at what happens in the club where gluttony is the name of the game. She

I’ve read previous books by this author so when I saw she had a new book coming out I couldn’t wait. I can honestly say I wasn’t disappointed as this was a great read.
Ella has just been fired from her latest job. Her friend Val asks her to join her as a private investigator. Her first job is in Buxhams which is a private members club.
I’m wary about going into the storyline too much as I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

Having read all the authors previous books I was excited to be asked to review Fat Chance. What I really love is that with each book she publishes Alison Morgan’s writing goes from strength to strength and she has once again delivered a first class read.
There were many things I liked about this book, for one the characters felt real, you can imagine the reality of Ella’s battle with severe mental health and the triggers that set off a manic episode; the pressure of the need for constant self car ...more

So I’ve read a few of A.B Morgan’s books now and this is the second to feature the character of Konrad Neal but it works well as a standalone.
Konrad Neal is on the verge of having his popular TV show cancelled unless he comes up with some new fresh ideas. Then barrister Harry Drysdale goes missing, with only his thumb being found, and Konrad finds the perfect opportunity to do some digging.

Ella Fitzwilliam has just lost another job when Val, a friend from the past talks her into getting her private investigator’s license. It seems easy enough but she is going to learn that she really isn’t cut out for it. She would rather model nude for artists. But Val is on the hunt for some people that have harmed and are known to hang out at the private club Buxham. Val sends Ella in for recon and Ella learns that this club caters to those that enjoys ladies like Ella.

I like A.B. Morgan’s writing style. Right away, she places you in the mindset of the character within the scene. Well established point of view characters make this an easy and entertaining read. Great suspense, mystery, intrigue, and well balanced writing.
A very different crime read. Ella is in need of a job. Her friend is a private investigator and suggests she join her however Ella is not really cut out for it. She does have a sixth sense about people but her technology skills leave something to be desired. Speaking of desired…. one of her first jobs is to infiltrate Buxhams, a private members club where the ladies are not slim shall we say. She finds a post there and has also done some life modelling recently which comes in handy when one of t

Another brilliant read
This is a stand-alone book in the Crime Fiction genre. If you have never read anything by AB Morgan you don't know what you are missing. Her books always have a humorous element somewhere that has you laughing while still not detracting from the main theme of crime.
Ella is always up for a laugh even a mundane task like bingo calling has everyone laughing but the manager is not impressed and so endeth another job. However, among the audience is someone from her past and with ...more

I gave this book a 4 star rating only because it seemed to jump around just a bit too much for my taste. With that said, don't let that keep you from reading this book. Once I settled into the story I was totally hooked.
I love Ella. I have known two people with the same mental issues and I was hoping that everything would end up well for her as it did for my friends.
