The Clutch of Eggs by Debbie Young

The Clutch of Eggs by Debbie Young

In the second of a new series of quick reads, young Tommy's new passion for wild birds' eggs causes him to put the village of Wendlebury Barrow on the map for all the wrong reasons.

In the company of her kitten, a sausage dog, and a handsome stranger keen on birdwatching, Sophie Sayers tries to create order out of chaos, without driving her bookseller boyfriend Hector away.

This gentle, quick read (about 30% the length of a Sophie Sayers novel) includes your favourite characters from the Sophie Sayers Village Mysteries and also introduces engaging new characters, from a lonely old widow to a trio of birdwatching brothers - not forgetting cute sausage dog Bunty

A feel-good read to make you laugh out loud at the latest antics in Wendlebury Barrow, The Clutch of Eggs will touch your heart with poignant matters of family, friendship, love, and loss, and lift your spirits with a guaranteed happy ending for all concerned.
