Trouble is brewing in The Bartons.
The beautifully presented villages of East and West Barton are fierce rivals in The Best Kept Village Competition. When wanton acts of vandalism to both villages mysteriously start to occur, suspicions begin to arise.
As the hapless Sergeant Richards is reluctantly drafted in for a full police investigation, so the destruction gets ever more extreme. Mayhem ensues when both village committees, headed up respectively by the fiery Brigadier Faraday and the icy Cynthia Barrington-Smythe, decide to act. Taking it upon themselves to aid the Sergeant with his investigations, their actions lead only to more disastrous consequences.
With the final Christmas Spectacular stage of the competition looming, the saboteurs strike again, causing utter havoc to both committees’ best laid plans.
With both villages’ reputations in tatters and the Sergeant’s career hanging in the balance, will the culprits ever be brought to justice?
The story is a rip-roaring and hilarious farce set against the backdrop of the Best Kept Village competition in the stunning setting of the North Norfolk countryside.

I don’t live in a village, but have lots of friends who do, so this tale of outrageously competitive neighbouring communities was very believable. Highly reminiscent of shows like Vicar or Dibley and Jam and Jerusalem, fans of both will, I think, enjoy characters like the domineering retired military man and the town busybody - all brought to life through a dizzying array of accents by narrator, Guy Barnes. While I was pretty sure who was behind the mysterious goings-on it was nice to have my suspicions confirmed by the end. All-in-all a pleasant way to fill a long train journey from Brighton to Yorkshire. I received this audiobook free through Audible and will also upload my review to Goodreads and Amazon.
