The Book of Witty Women

Comprising the 12 shortlisted stories for the Comedy Women In Print Prize 2023, and 3 guest authors. Sorry, Delivery won the inaugural prize.

Sorry, Delivery - Kayla Reilly is a streetwise delivery driver tackling London’s busy streets, craving chocolate biscuits, refusing fig rolls and minding everybody’s business. When a woman’s dead body turns up on her route the local detectives are sure Kayla is responsible. Kayla, a narcoleptic, acknowledges her guilt, until a random photo suggests the victim’s husband and brazen mistress are more likely suspects. All Kayla has to do is stay awake long enough to prove it.

Reader Reviews On The Book of Witty Women

★★★★★

An enjoyable collection of short stories in which everyone will have their favourites. I love this type of book as I not only find different authors but also it's ideal for situations when one's attention is subject to interruptions especially when when travelling. Quick, lighthearted and entertaining reads all completely different.
