Product Description

Product Description
When Jimbo Charter-Plackett asks his mother, Katherine, to come and live near him in Turnham Malpas, his kindness has rather more repercussions than he anticipated. Before long Katherine is organising the harvest festival display, and causes uproar with her high-handed ways. Worse still, she sets herself up as guardian of the villagers' morals, and spreads rumours and half-truths about her neighbours' lives. But Katherine goes too far when she organises a petition to try and rid the village of those she considers to be most at fault. Only Peter, the rector, can control Katherine's more outrageous actions. Finding it hard to resist his natural charm and diplomacy she gradually begins to mellow as the village works its magic on her...

5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming tale of village life, 13 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This book is excellent. The latest in a series of books about the village of Turnham Malpas, Scandal in the Village tells the continuing story of the inhabitants of the village, their lives and the village spirit around them. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story that they can become attached to and follow through to the end. The previous books in the series set the scene and introduce the characters that are so easy to follow and become interested in. I really enjoyed the story of Jimbo's mother and her ways and I'm sure that you will too. Happy reading!!

5.0 out of 5 stars scandal in the village, 1 Oct 2003
By A Customer
I too stumbled over the Turnham Malpas series, entirely by accident - purchasing Scandal in the Village first. When I
realised that they were a series I was in hot pursuit till I had
tracked the entire series down. They are unputdownable!!. I live
in a village similar to Turnham Malpas and believe me Rebecca Shaw has got village life completely right. Excellent reading !!

4.0 out of 5 stars The unexpected goings-on in a quiet corner of England, 28 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Shaw once again surprises us with the events in the seemingly quiet village of Turnham Malpas. It begins amongst other stories with the arrival of the local grocer's mother, an ill-liked and interfering harridan who stirs up trouble with surprising ease. In her attempts to set wrongs to rights a local affair nearly turns to murder. Buyer beware, have an entire day set aside when you start this avid read. Something for everyone to relate to in this entertaining book of village dynamics.
