Iris Incensed

Iris Winterbek considers drinking caffeine after 3 PM a huge risk. Her daughter, Amy regularly scales cliffs, chases storms, and drives like she's auditioning for Fast & Furious. So when Amy booked a heritage road trip through the Netherlands and Great Britain, Iris knew she was in for some discomfort.

But she didn't expect to spend two weeks running for her life.

When a kind stranger at their Dutch B&B slips Iris a blue Delft wrapped gift and tells her not to open it until she gets home, everything goes sideways.

What Iris doesn't know: Hidden inside is contraband worth millions on the black market.

What the criminal mastermind doesn't know: Iris Winterbek is pathologically opposed to following instructions, constitutionally unable to stay in one place, and fueled by enough caffeinated panic to accidentally outwit any opportunist criminal.

Fans of humorous crime capers will love the Amsterdam canal escape that kicks off this cozy travel thriller series. As mother and daughter careen through London's Underground, the Scottish Highlands, and Ireland's rugged coast, catastrophe dogs their every step. Amy is beginning to wonder about karma. Iris thinks Amy is worrying for nothing. The police of four countries suspect Iris knows something. And the criminals are learning that underestimating a gray haired lady was only their first mistake.

Perfect for readers who love screwball comedies, European adventures in stunning locations, high-speed chaos, and sharp, quirky humor in the vein of Fredrik Backman and The Thursday Murder Club.
