I’m Faye, author of Tinker, Tailor, Schoolmum, Spy, the winner of the 2020 Comedy Women in Print Award. ![]() Vicky Turnbull appears to be a typical mum and housewife. ![]() So, when a newcomer on the PTA sets alarms bells ringing and MI5 comes calling, she’s determined to prove that despite her expanding waistline and love of pink gin, she’s still every bit the cold-eyed special operative. 'Tinker, Tailor, Schoolmum, Spy' by Faye Brann is the best, laugh out loud comedy that I have read in a long time. Not even her husband, and certainly not the other mums at the school gate.īut beneath the school runs and bake sales, Vicky had never quite said goodbye to the past. And apart from being outstandingly good at paintball, no one would ever know that in a past life she was an undercover spy and has been trained to kill a man with her bare hands. Vicky Turnbull has never regretted giving up her career for family life in the suburbs. ‘I just loved this book… put on a smile on my face’ Libby Page, The Lido ‘Naturally funny… page turning, smart and sassy’ Helen Lederer, comedian, author and founder of the CWIP Prize ‘Fresh and different… and skilfully written’ Yomi Adekoke, Slay in Your Lane ![]()
