Book description
When Matt Gosling, proprietor of The Skipley Chronicle, hired Primrose
Holland as his paper's agony aunt it was either the best decision he
ever made, or the worst. For Rosie is larger-than-life in every sense,
an ex-pathologist with enthusiasm, intelligence and heart - but no tact
whatsoever. Perhaps that's why her column 'The Primrose Path' is such a
huge success. Faced with queries on everything from inadvertently eating
a slug to the etiquette of finding your mother in bed with her toy-boy,
Rosie's advice is always unorthodox, frequently hilarious, and often
lands her in deep water. But never deeper than when she helps Fiona
Morris look for her brother Philip, who disappeared while birdwatching
in the Hebrides. Worried by conflicting news of him, Rosie sets off for
Scotland with Fiona, bird-watching expert Arthur Prufrock, and reluctant
psychic Shad Lucas. A more competent psychic would have known better
than to get involved. Because Rosie's solution to this particular
problem is about to prove very dangerous indeed . . . 'A most surprising
and enjoyable mystery from one of the very best' Booklist Jo Bannister
