Florence Grimes is a 31-year-old party girl who always takes the easy way out. After a dismal end to her girlband career, she’s living in West London, single, broke and unfulfilled with only her son Dylan to keep her afloat.

But then Alfie Risby, the ten-year-old heir to a frozen food empire and Dylan’s school rival, mysteriously vanishes on a class trip, and Dylan becomes a prime suspect.

Florence needs to find Alfie and clear her son’s name or risk losing him forever. The only problem? She doesn’t have any detective skills, all the other school mums hate her, and she’s just found Alfie’s backpack hidden under her son’s bed…
