About this listen

Taking the position of mayor in the town of Tilling brings much delight to Lucia. However, with her local rival Miss Mapp around, trouble is never far away. Lucia is elevated to her new position with Georgie Pilson as her sidekick, confidant, and escort. Lucia and Georgie renew their acquaintance with the opera diva Olga Braceley and the composer Cortese, but nobody in Tilling believes Lucia when she claims to have entertained a duchess.

What disappointed you about Trouble for Lucia?

So much of the wit, humour and lightness of touch has been torn out during the clumsy abridgement.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not really. I'll only buy unabridged versions from now on.

Absolutely gutted. A thin copy of the original.

This is not a long novel, so why reduce it by half? A lot of incidents in the story line are completely eradicated. A pity.

Why abridge?

Wonderful book from a wonderful series but sadly abridged and with a rather lack lustre reading from Miriam Margoyles.. sorry but not a patch on the complete reading done by Prunella Scales

Great Book but why is it abridged????
