Review comments:
Reading Tiffany Bond's racy self-published read Confessions of a Female Private Investigator could very well make you paranoid. She does, after all, spend much of her time following cheating spouses, and her case files are bulging with accounts of unfaithful partners and their flimsy cover stories.
These stories have helped to form the basis of her memoir, the chapters of which alternate between her time working for Detection Group clients (the names of whom have been changed to protect those who have been conned and cheated), and her former days (many of them hair-raising) as a beat cop in Brisbane.
There are plenty of con men, battered wives, a housewife with a surprising second job, and a cyber stalker among the parade of targets that make this an entertaining if sobering read. Suffice to say Tiffany, who handed in her badge to run her own private detective agency in Queensland, has led a pretty colourful life in and out of uniform.
Confessions of a Female Private Investigator by Tiffany Bond, RRP$34.95, Kiss Publications.

Review comments:
There's no doubt about it, private investigators are absolutely fascinating. From films to TV shows and books, we've been enthralled by the breed for decades. And here's a book about a real-life Australian PI who's a woman to boot!
Tiffany Bond is a former debt collector and ex-police officer who spent a year undercover in a prostitution ring. She is the CEO of Detection Group Ltd, a nationwide firm specialising in infidelity. Bond is the genuine article and wrote this book about her extraordinary adventures and experiences not to amuse or shock - although her stories do plenty of both - but to help.
From the first page when she mentions her own failed marriage, she writes with sincerity and compassion, telling stories that people can relate to or learn from. This is a captivating memoir by a remarkable woman.
