Summary
Life in the country was supposed to be relaxing...
Eric Sibley's new life in the sleepy riverside village of Burlam is going pretty well, except for the fact his new house is falling down around his ears, he has committed himself to preparing a lavish Christmas Day feast for the extended family, his wife is stressed out and overworked, his new allotment neighbor is crazy and, if that wasn’t enough, his mother-in-law has come to stay. Apart from that, it is all going brilliantly.
Following on from Peas, Carrots and an Aston Martin, once again, Eric Sibley and his family navigate their way through the trials and tribulations of everyday life. With the edition of some wonderful new faces, get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind of uninspiring leeks, troublesome chickens, inappropriate plumbers, and various sinister interlopers, and they are all hell-bent on turning Eric’s life upside down.

Heartwarming, funny and incredibly well written
Well having devoured the first book in this series I was so excited to get my ears on this one. Another brilliantly written, funny and fast paced story. The plot is great and the narration is superb! I’m off to start the next one!

Less humour than book 1
This lacked the humour of book 1 but still a great story and I loved the narrator. I listen on 1.25x speed which is just perfect for me.

Brilliant characterisation
I'm a big fan of the Peas and Carrots series. Red Feather Boa had me laughing out loud in places, although the moments of drama and dispair throughout the storyline are equally evocative. I find the characters so well put together, lots of tiny details that bring them to life. The narrator's interpretation of the writer's carefully chosen words in this audio version is excellent, switching from one character to the next seamlessly, and no confusion over who's who. Very talented!
This is my honest and unbiased review after receiving a free audio code for this book.

Life in the country was supposed to be relaxing...
In the previous instalment, Eric gave up his job in London and decided to move to Burlam after purchasing Norman’s home. Unfortunately the house is in need of some serious renovating. With Suzy now the main breadwinner, it’s up to her to keep them afloat and while she throws herself into completing endless deadlines in her career as an author, Eric takes on the task of refurbishing the house and maintaining the allotment by himself.
For their first Christmas, Eric commits himself to preparing a lavish Christmas Day feast for Suzy’s sister Linda and her family. All goes as planned until Suzy’s mother, Yvette shows up unannounced having apparently left Suzy’s father and bringing with her more chaos in the mix. Coinciding with her arrival is a new neighbour on the allotment by the name of Fleur, who has taken over Norman and Cynthia’s plot. Despite his best intentions, Eric’s attempts to settle into rural life goes through many challenges, threatening all that he and Suzy have built...
The Sibley family saga continues in the second instalment of the Peas and Carrots series with another heartwarming addition that hits all the right notes. The novel introduces two new characters with some very entertaining results. Yvette, Fleur - and not forgetting Lulu, were welcome additions adding dynamite wit and loving substance to the plot.
The author has a wonderful knack of creating characters that seemingly come alive and I found myself completely immersed as a hapless Eric tries to work through family issues while juggling the allotment and home renovations.
Having become thoroughly invested in the characters from the get go, I enjoyed visiting Eric and his family again. This series is a truly wonderful read that hooks and reels you in. There are some darker undertones - the ending in particular catching me completely off guard and ensuring that I will be eagerly anticipating the follow up.
I received an advanced free audible copy of Peas, Carrots and a Red Feather Boa and I am voluntarily reviewing it. Rafe Beckley has once again done an admirable job of bringing the story and characters to life with his clear and concise narration. He has fast become one of my favourite narrators.

The next installment...
This second installment of Peas and Carrots star Eric's life is just as good as the first. This time having moved nearer his inherited allotment he is busy renovating a tumble down house and coping with an extending family in his own imitable humorous way. Once again Rafe Beckley does a fantastic job of the narration introducing even more voices to is repetoire. Highly recommended listen. *****

Dirt, a dog and another disaster.
I received this book via a free promo code and this is my honest voluntary review.
Ah more time with Eric Sibley and family.. this time the family have now relocated to Burnley and the allotment he inherited has become the focus of Eric's life. Christmas brings the unexpected arrival of his wife Susans mother and it appears that she may be staying much longer than just the holidays. Trying desperately to make his marriage work he strikes up a friendship with his new allotment neighbour Fleur and her chickens and before he knows it... they are sharing custody of a puppy. When the father in law shows up again after 3 months trying to win back his wife, something doesnt feel right to Eric and tensions with his wife Suzie are getting worse as she seems to working almost all the time leaving him feeling increasingly isolated... when that loneliness leads to the last door step he should ever be on, his move to Burley ends in a disaster.
