Flappy Investigates

Product Information

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 of a book hug! The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. Flappy woont samen met haar man Kenneth in een echt Engels dorpje in het prachtige landhuis Darnley Manor.

She read Spanish and Italian at Exeter University and spent much of the 90s in Buenos Aires, where her mother grew up. Georgina Sutton’s performance is perfect as always and she brings the characters to life in a way that makes for easy and enjoyable listening.

Het verhaal is oppervlakkig, maar Flappy is een fijn personage waar ik vaak om moest lachen zonder meer. She has created and developed the lovely Flappy who is a perfect combination of all the characteristics most of us abhor, as well as those we admire and strive for, and the gentle humour in this story was exactly what I needed at a time when everyone around me seems to be moaning, groaning and complaining about the state of the economy!

Still one of my favourite authors - I love the description Santa Montefiore gives of the peoples and places but unfortunately the Flappy books just haven't done it for me. Newcomers have moved in, a young couple from London, delightful no doubt but they do need to know their place. I didn't know that there is a book about Flappy already, I actually learnt about it after finishing reading "Flappy Investigates", however I didn't had a feeling that I'm missing on something, I was immediately thrown into the heart of the book and into the characters lives. Een feest dat iedereen zich zal herinneren ook al loopt deze niet helemaal volgens hoe Flappy het voor ogen had maar dat deert haar niet want ze wordt uiteindelijk aangenaam verrast door haar familie en vrienden. 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.

There were one or two things she did which had absolutely no relevance to the story and I started to question where exactly the Author was going with them. Ze krijgt het benauwd van vuile kinderhandjes overal in haar kraaknette villa en de rommel dat haar kleinkinderen maken maar ze wilt ook niet overkomen als de koele grootmoeder. I enjoyed this books view of the more sentimental side to flappy but felt it came at the expense of her vibrancy and sense of flare.
