Editorial reviews

The first day out in public with your newborn is a momentous occasion. There's pride, there's nerves, and, for Maddy Wolfe unfortunately, there's being mistakenly arrested for shoplifting. Mad Cows performed sharply by veteran narrator Fiona Macleod, is the comical adventure of a new mother done wrong and her attempts at securing her freedom and protecting her newborn baby. Though the theme is serious, Kathy Lette's witty prose and hilarious characters make this story one full of laughter rather than nerves. Top off your glass of chardonnay and follow Maddy as she navigates a world of cocky ex-lovers, clumsy friends, and inept policemen.

Publisher's Summary

Every woman wants to be wanted, just not by the entire Metropolitan police force...

Maddy Wolfe's first day out with her newborn takes a Kafkaesque turn when she's wrongfully arrested in Harrods for shoplifting. The only person she can turn to is her hot-to-trot ex-lover Alex, who proves himself to be as useful as a solar powered vibrator on a rainy day. When will he realise that a paternity suit is not the latest look in men's leisurewear?

How do you brief a lawyer with a heat-seaking penis that doesn't report to mission control? An why the hell is Maddy's friend Gillian searching for a sperm happy to get egg all over its face?
