Synopsis "Tea for Two in the Valley (Cuthbert Book 3)"
Trouble in the Valley continues as a reckless statement by Ronald Chisholm that women are genetically incapable of playing golf provokes Arkle, the woman more equine than a horse, to challenge, "Would you redundant hunter-gatherers care to challenge the weaker sex?", and it becomes immediately apparent to the men present in the Mandrake Arms that with Cuthbert and Percy in the team, the men would probably lose a game of golf against the Valley's resident crow or Blind Pugh the sheepdog, never mind against its formidable women. As it's too late for Ronald to retract his statement, and apology is beyond him, he blunders on, upping the ante with, 'You name the prize, then," before sinking all the men's hopes with, "And you can pick the teams." "Done," declares Arkle, and surely they are unless they can come up with epic amounts of skulduggery, probably with the assistance of the ever-willing Village Mafia, to offset their evident and woeful lack of golfing skills. But the women have some plans of their own and have not the slightest intention of losing. And so this hilarious series, brimming with memorable characters and witty one-liners, continues ... Book #3 in the Cuthbert Series
