Product Description
Product Description
It's not easy being a doctor, especially when your wife has run off in search of excitement and you're given the push from your practice for sticking up for your principles. Christopher Devon tries to make a new life and, after a bit of persuasion from his daughter, to meet a new woman. But how to find one? And how to placate a son who thinks you should never have split up in the first place? Dr Devon is not the only man with woman trouble. Tiger Wilson has been married just a little too comfortably for thirty years, and Gary Flynn is a serial womaniser who refuses to settle down. But during one month in spring they are all about to have their lives turned upside down, and not just by women. In seeking to add a little excitement to their lives, they get rather more than they bargained for. They all have their secrets, and they are all exposed to danger. The result? Death, danger, intrigue and passion. Will Dr Devon find true love and live happily ever after? Or will the bitter pill of reality prove a fly in the ointment of his dreams?

By hard to put down, I mean its been grasped from my hands when I'm supposed to be going out for the evening or because its so very late and I'll never get up in the morning if I don't put the book down. This isn't a book to aid sleep when you're having trouble dropping off because you find yourself anxiously turning to the next page, needing to know more!
Fantasticly believable and loveable characters, excellent plot involving crime, intrigue, romance, love, passion...
But its sadly too short! Please, Alan! Sweetie! Write a sequel!

Two sessions and this rather trite little mystery romance by one of the UK's favourite gardeners was finished. This one did not really appeal to me very much. Although I have read all of Alan Titchmarsh's novels I have to admit they only catch my attention because of his television fame...sorry Alan.
This predictable tale takes as its protagonists three middle aged men, Tiger Wilson, Dr Christopher Devon and Gary Flynn. The title I felt did not fit very well as the story gives all three men a little love interest and intrigue in their lives, not just Dr Devon.
Somehow between them they stumble on a local mystery loosely connected by a Chinese man and Dr Devon's concerns about the local GP practice.
A lightweight amusing novel. Though I prefer his work as a gardener and TV personality.

This is the first Alan Titchmarsh book I've read and I was not disappointed. I started reading it whilst on sick leave after a nasty fall and it jollied me up no end. I liked Alan's characters very much and felt I was living amongst them for the duration of the story. If you want a pleasant read, with humour, romance and an underlying mystery, then this book certainly fits the bill. Like another reader, I too would like to see a sequel to Love and Dr Devon. Alan's stories would make a nice series of gentle plays for the TV. I am now longing to read another of Alan's books, but which one to choose.....hmm.
