My review -
Amaryllis
Peebles is, at 40, a retired spy. She comes to live in Pitkirtly and muscles in
on PLIF –the Pitkirtly Local Improvement Forum. The members of the committee
have treated this as an informal drinking and social group, meeting as they do
in a local pub. Amaryllis proposes that they do up the local village hall which
is in a state of decrepitude, so that they, and other village groups, have a
better meeting place. Naturally, as a new broom, her clean sweeping is
resented. Christopher Wilson, chair of the group, seems particularly
uncomfortable about actually improving the village.
This
story takes a sassy woman with an uncommon range of skills and drops her into a
serene (on the surface) little village and the results are fun and frantic. I
loved the characters – living in a village community myself I recognised
several types! The writing was witty and most enjoyable to read. As this is the
first of a series, I can see I have more treats in store!
