The Refreshingly Frank

Diane Plummer

Corporate life with a playful twist

A taste for life. An eye for curves. A feel for friendship.

Who says corporate life is a wasteland? Not among this company of friends. Set in Australia, here's a tale of strategy, lust, and sticky issues – from envy and theft to adultery and death. The central characters are Frank and Hence, joined by an odd ensemble cast: a sexy Latin and two of Frank's tall mates.

Height-challenged bosses, girls in g-strings, bull-necked cops, jokesters, confused medicos, and men with a penchant for downloading pornography on the job, all test the skill and patience of this working couple.

Served with panache across two cultures, The Refreshingly Frank shines a spotlight on making alliances. Lessons in life, love, and work are learned along the way. The book’s ending offers a checklist on success in any field, no matter how you make a living. 

A short glossary of local argot is included for overseas audiences willing to learn Aussie English. 

In a nutshell: humour, relationships, and a frank look at the world of big business. It’s a refreshing mix and a good read – hours of enjoyment for your spending dollar.

"You should be a cleaner for the new Russian Mafia," Nate said. "Three people disappearing in one hit...An enviable record."
