4.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining, pleasant, July 1, 2008
This is the second work in the Turham Malpas series, the story of life in an atypical English village where crazy stuff is always going down. In this volume the villagers are shocked when the old big house gets changed into a fitness center staffed by annoying outsiders. There's also a flower festival, a kidnapping, and sides chosen in a village-wide debate over the practice of poaching.
Quote: "Heavens above, I shall hardly hare to go out."
This series is incredibly enjoyable. This second installment is just as good as the first one, and it focuses on a different main group of villagers than the first book does - although the characters from The New Rector (the first novel) are featured in secondary roles.
