Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

Description

Flappy Investigates is the fabulously fun follow-up to Flappy Entertains from bestselling author Santa Montefiore. This time, something is amiss in the village of Badley Compton...

Binoculars at the ready, Flappy Scott-Booth is set to investigate. Newcomers have moved in, a young couple from London, delightful no doubt, but they do need to know their place. Who better to teach them the ways of this close-knit community than Flappy herself?

But Flappy has other distractions. An ardent admirer, a New Year’s Ball to organise, and manifold appearances to be kept up. How much time and effort it all takes! Add to the mix the sudden arrival of her son Jasper with his utterly charming persona and total lack of ambition and drive, accompanied by his pretentious wife and their two highly-strung children, and Flappy is on ultra-high alert.

Endlessly entertaining and gorgeously gossipy, Flappy Investigates is the perfect escape.

Praise for Flappy Entertains:

‘Santa Montefiore is a born storyteller’ Woman’s Weekly

‘A friendly, undemanding read in unfriendly, demanding times’ Daily Mail

‘A keeping up with the Joneses tale that will lift your spirits in no time’ New!

‘Another winner from the author who writes about relationships so astutely’ Belfast Telegraph

‘Packed with wickedly funny insights and throwaway lines and written with an extra-large helping of heart, this is the perfect escape for anyone in need of a book hug!’ Lancashire Post
