Description
Flappy Investigates by Santa Montefiore is a witty, character-driven novel set in the English village of Badley Compton, where social observation and gentle intrigue take centre stage. The story follows Flappy Scott-Booth, a sharp-eyed and socially vigilant resident who takes it upon herself to monitor village life—especially when newcomers from London arrive and disrupt the established order. As Flappy turns her attention to their behaviour, her “investigations” unfold alongside the everyday dramas of her own life, including organising a New Year’s Ball, managing an admirer, and dealing with the unexpected return of her son Jasper and his family. The novel focuses on community dynamics, social expectations, and personal quirks, with humour and gossip driving the narrative rather than high-stakes crime.
A follow-up to Flappy Entertains, this book will appeal to readers who enjoy light, entertaining fiction centred on eccentric characters, village life, and observational comedy with a hint of intrigue.
