UK premiere on Friday 21st August at 8pm on U&Drama

New crime mystery series where two wildly different women, Allison “Allie” Chandler (Brooke Shields) and Andrea “Andi” Wallace (Amalia Jane Williamson) solve murders, spar constantly, and maybe - just maybe - become friends along the way.

Legendary mystery novelist Allison “Allie” Chandler’s fading career gets an unexpected boost when a fellow author dies at her hometown writers’ convention. Convinced it was murder, she reluctantly teams up with Andi Wallace, a cynical Gen Z true-crime podcaster. Despite clashing personalities, the pair become an unlikely investigative duo, solving dangerous stand-alone mysteries while co-writing a book together.
