Story
Jules Moretti is newly single, an aspiring writer, and the hyper-competent assistant to the most powerful woman in fashion. It's a tough job, but her ice queen boss won't settle for less than perfection. Vivian Carlisle helms the internationally revered fashion publication Du Jour. She might be smack in the middle of a messy divorce, but you have to make sacrifices to be the best. That's what she tells herself, anyway. When the unthinkable happens, Vivian's regimented world is turned upside-down. Her life is about power, success, and dominance—not a baby!

Story
Neve Blackthorne, head of one of the most successful Studios in Hollywood, is the one to rule them all. Powerful, beautiful, and aloof, she's ruthless, yet irresistible. Above all, she has an unquenchable survival instinct. Surely a fleeting entanglement with one Audrey Avens, a bright, young, rising star in her company, won't bring down the Wicked Queen of Tinseltown. Or will it? Neve's public persona has no chink in the untouchable armor, but when the lights go out and the cameras stop rolling, what becomes of an Ice Queen whose heart is ruled by love and fear?

Story
Ellie Fisher loves most things about being a nurse in the emergency department . . . just not working with Regina Novak, an icy attending physician who acts as if she's God's gift to medicine. The dislike is completely mutual. Regina thinks Ellie is a starry-eyed romantic with a sentimental attitude that has no place at work. When Regina gets talked into volunteering at a singles auction, Ellie accidentally bids on her—and ends up winning. Oops! Since the money raised is for a good cause, they reluctantly decide to go through with the dates.

Publisher's Summary
A funny, fabulous, cozy mystery filled with quirkiness and a sweet serve of lesbian romance.
Bess Campbell has escaped to the windswept Australian coastal town of Port Bannir, determined to begin her life again. She is loving her fresh start, thanks to her fun job running a hip gallery, her territorial chickens, and a lot of self-help books to find her new, better self.
Port Bannir local Margaret Gale runs an austere maritime museum, and rules her staff with an iron fist. She has no time for that crazy modern gallery or upbeat, earnest Bess sweeping around town on her hipster bicycle.
After a heated dispute over an antique collectible dildo, there's little hope Margaret and Bess will ever see eye to eye. But when Port Bannir is rocked by a senseless murder, both women find themselves implicated. Can they work together to expose the truth - or will the truth prove far too dangerous?
Contains mature themes.

Small town Australian murder mystery and a dash of romance.
A book doesn’t capture a more lovely and nuanced view of small town life and how history does often play out than this little gem of a book.
A book filled with lovely tension between the unexpected love interests and a compelling mystery with interesting twists and turns. Very funny in places.
Not my usual taste, but I found I could not stop listening.

Absolutely worth a read
Great authentic Aussie accents - thank you, thank you, thank you - Cat Gould
The characters- frustratingly endearing, quirky & edgy.
A droll, laconic Aussie take on small town life as it collides, reels & resists the fast paced, big city corporate & artsy wheeling & dealing, trying to bring progress to its parochial ways. And all set against a simmering local backdrop of intergenerational angst & deadly secrets.
And it’s an intriguing who-done-it to boot.
I’m that dammed last-page-first reader - but still the plot reads as true as it slowly reveals itself through all its twists, turns & hiccups, and I avidly read towards its known resolution.
So where to next with the hapless heroines & their eccentric but tech savvy sidekicks?

A cleverly woven story
Interesting characters, an unlikely romance, and a plot that will keep you guessing until the end. Has a level of complexity that is sadly missing in many other romances. Greatly enjoyed.

Wonderful cosy mystery
A Curious Woman hits all the right notes for a page-turning cosy mystery. The plot is rich but not over complicated and I had no idea whodunnit until the reveal! The romantic elements were lovely I really enjoyed Bess and Margaret’s slow burn.
Excellent narration too - I can’t get Margaret’s voice out of my head!

Hmmm
Before anything else, I would like to commend the narrator of this story. The differentiation in Australian accents is so authentic, it was breathtaking. Thank you Cat Gould.
I don’t care for the negative reviews of this book, I’ve decided. This book is about a typical small town in Australia with a murder mystery and quirky main characters. I cannot begin to gush over the ice queen. I could listen to her commentary for days on end. She has haute and sarcasm down to a T! Tilda Swinton written all over it.
Describing Australian nature scene as a backdrop especially in small towns was weirdly calming and satisfying, as if I could smell the eucalyptus trees from the pages. I guess just one of the charms this book holds.
