Sarah Goody | 3 comments I read this book about 8 years ago picked it up in a supermarket was so funny about a professional girl who ditched her job in the city to go and live in the Cotswolds and go foxhunting - you might only appreciate it if you were horsey, was written in a Bridget jones diary fashion - sadly lent it to a friend who never returned it! Would dearly love to read it again!

Why does everything set in the Cotswolds seem to be a murder mystery?

No idea Lobstergirl. But that does seem to be true.

Was there anything else in the book other than fox hunting and moving? Any romance, mystery, interesting and quirky characters?

Er, forgot to mention, I've moved this down to Unsolved for you Sarah, as you'll have more lookers there.

Sarah Goody | 3 comments Hi! Thanks for your comments! Basically she fell in love with a member of the hunt staff who cut a dashing figure on a horse, but was shorter than her by head and shoulders when she met him on the ground.... And really rather surly! One of her old colleagues had previously fallen in love with her and moved to Cotswolds and took up hunting and eventually won her heart - having read what I've written back it all sounds very vacuous!!!! However I enjoyed it as a light read and would love to read it again.... Fingers crossed!
