Jilly Cooper is a true fan favourite:
'Entertaining, witty and a total escape!'
'Unputdownable and addictive as always'
'Rupert is back. Still gorgeous. Still naughty. Still wondrous'
'A delightfully indulgent read . . . twists in the plot and, as always, a charming ending'
Jilly Cooper's legendary hero returns!
Rupert Campbell-Black, undefeated race-horse owner and handsomest man in the world, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy, his beloved horse Love Rat has died, and now his daughter Bianca wants him to buy a languishing local football club - a sport Rupert knows nothing about - so she can return to Rutshire with her football star husband.
Rupert's first impressions of Searston Rovers are distinctly unfavourable. But swayed by Bianca and Taggie, soon Rupert has signed the deal. As Searston's new owner, he won't stand for anything less than victory in the Premier League, despite the odds being stacked against him. With help from the club's ravishing and adorable secretary, Tember West, Rupert sets out to mastermind Searston's rise to the top, starting with taking charge of the players - much to the fury of Searston's manager.
The rival football club and their corrupt dealings aren't going to make it easy for him either - and they have a history of foul play. Let the sabotage and scandal begin...

I read the book when it first came out and quite enjoyed it, so was looking forward to revisiting it as an audiobook to listen to on the commute to and from work. Sadly the narrator was very off putting - a low mumbly voice a lot of the time, and some questionable character voices- almost every WAG had an Essex accent, and Bianca, who is supposed to be 21, hand the voice of an eight year old - I never made it past chapter 12. You may have better luck.
Such a shame as all the other Rutshire chronicle audiobooks have been great.
Good.
Easy and enjoyable listening.
