People Personnel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781836152187)

In her darkly comic, debut novel, Celia Holup introduces us to Human Resources Manager, Janice Mead.

She commutes every day from her home in Whitstable, Kent to London and is soon to retire from her standalone role for a not-for-profit sector organisation, that is facing very difficult financial decisions. She is innocuous, dull, easily overlooked and cut an inconsequential, loveless path through, what appears to have been, a largely non-eventful life.

Everyone knows she wouldn't lift a finger. Everyone knows she wouldn't swat a fly. Everyone knows she'll just sit there and be quiet. No one would think twice about her, but Janice Mead's savage way of exiting those who are now surplus to her requirements may change all that. See what kind of a person Janice Mead really is.
