About this listen

 THE BRAND NEW BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF OUT OF PRACTICE
Love and laughter with the residents of Larkford is exactly what the doctor ordered!

Dr Alice Walker has become accomplished at presenting a façade to the world – to anyone watching, she is the epitome of style, composure and professionalism. But perhaps it was to be expected that the cracks might begin to show at some point. Thankfully Grace is on hand to offer both friendship and support when it’s needed most.

Meanwhile, Dr Holly Graham has her hands full both professionally and personally. Planning a wedding with Taffy Jones is challenging enough, even before some surprising news changes everything. At least beloved Larkford resident, Elsie, still has a few tricks left up her sleeve!

Dr Dan Carter, on the other hand, has decided to throw himself into his career – the best antidote he’s found to unrequited love. When tragedy strikes in the heart of Larkford, Dan makes it his mission to help the community.

good story. lovely use of words. some of the information not at all accurate... it's not very believable. But charming and well written. Easy listening!

generally enjoyable story

After loving listening to the first 2 books in this series and really getting to know the characters, I was gutted to hear the change of narrator. This may seem a small thing but after 2 books, I was used to the accents and the way the personalities were portrayed but then it all changed in book 3. Sadly this really affected how I felt about this book.

First book I have returned

This may not be 'high literature' but it is very enjoyable and great to spend some time with at bedtime. I have listened to the other 2 books and this one was even better as there were so many satisfactory conclusions! I do hope that there will be more stories from the Practice and that we can follow the lives of the utterly charming staff and their families.

Most enjoyable!
