Blog Tour - Snowed in at the Practice by Penny Parkes


Welcome to the Larkford Surgery in the Cotswolds, the heart of a tightknit community as well as a hotbed of drama, rivalry, resentment and romance - and that's just the doctors …
 
Dr Holly Graham is finding life with two sets of twins exhausting. Even with husband Dr Taffy Jones and devoted friend Elsie by her side, she is completely outnumbered. Making the transition back to work will be no easy feat but a regular slot on Radio Larkford as their on-air doctor might be the perfect stepping stone, until an unexpected job offer changes everything.
 
Dr Alice Walker’s new canine clinic at Larkford Surgery with Coco, her assistance dog, has been a storming success. If only shipping her best friend, Dr Tilly Grainger, in from South America to cover for Holly had been such a smooth transition. It seems that Tilly isn’t finding life in the peaceful Cotswolds valley as rewarding as she’d hoped, and she is causing chaos ...
 
Join the residents of Larkford as secrets, drama and romance are revealed, in the new novel from the bestselling author of Out of Practice and winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2017.


'Snowed in at the Practice' is Penny Parkes third instalment of life at Larkford Surgery, a doctors surgery set in the beautiful Cotswolds, an area which I love to visit and curling up with Penny Parkes latest read was a fantastic way to spend a long weekend.

I really like the cast of characters with Penny's books. As the series progresses it feels like I am catching up with old friends, as well as meeting new inhabitants, and with a doctor's surgery being the focus of the series, there are plenty of new patients to meet. Add to this the beautiful location and it is one of those books that transports the reader to the heart of the story. 

'Snowed in at the Practice' also introduces a new business to the village, a canine clinic, which is a great addition and it was great to learn more about this business. 

Although this is the third book in the series, it could be easily read as a standalone book, but I am sure that once readers have read this latest instalment they will be going back to the beginning and reading the other two.

I am already looking forward to my next visit to Larkford.


Thank you to the publishers, Simon and Schuster, and to Random Things Blog Tours for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
