About this listen

From the beloved bestselling author Santa Montefiore comes a new novel filled with humour and heart. For fans of The Temptation of Gracie, Flappy now takes centre stage, more charismatic and competitive than ever.

‘Fresh, fun and fabulous! Flappy certainly kept me entertained!’ Heidi Swain, Sunday Times bestselling author

Underneath her graceful exterior lies a passion nobody knew about, least of all Flappy herself…

Flappy Scott-Booth is the self-appointed queen bee of Badley Compton, a picturesque Devon village. While her husband Kenneth spends his days on the golf course, she is busy overseeing her beautiful house and gardens, and organising unforgettable events, surrounded by friends who hang on to her every word.

Her life is a reflection of herself – impossibly perfect.

Until the day that Hedda Harvey-Smith and her husband Charles move into the village. Into an even grander home than hers. Taking the front seat on the social scene, quite literally.

That simply will not do.

Flappy is determined to show Hedda how things are done here in Badley Compton. But then she looks into Charles’s beautiful green eyes. And suddenly, her focus is elsewhere. She is only human, after all…

If you usually really on SMF for well researched stories that you get lost in then this will disappoint.
Whilst it is a lovely story it is like it was written on a Friday when there was an exciting weekend to be getting on with and she just needed to knock it out to fulfill a quota. Very pleased it was included in the subscription as I would not have spent more money on it.
Very predictable and frustrating

Not the usual Santa Montifiore

Light entertainment for beside the pool/beach. Entertaining narrator.
This book reminded me of the EF Benson, Mapp & Lucia novels.
I’ve read a few Santa M novels now and they’ve all been good.

A perfect summer read

Such a lighthearted little story... beautifully read by Juliet Stevenson. If you want highbrow then steer clear but if you want a bit of lighthearted froth then you’ll love it.....
