Lightweight but amusing - Rated 
Two sessions and this rather trite little mystery romance by one of the UK's favourite gardeners was finished. This one did not really appeal to me very much. Although I have read all of Alan Titchmarsh's novels I have to admit they only catch my attention because of his television fame...sorry Alan.
This predictable tale takes as its protagonists three middle aged men, Tiger Wilson, Dr Christopher Devon and Gary Flynn. The title I felt did not fit very well as the story gives all three men a little love interest and intrigue in their lives, not just Dr Devon.
Somehow between them they stumble on a local mystery loosely connected by a Chinese man and Dr Devon's concerns about the local GP practice.
A lightweight amusing novel. Though I prefer his work as a gardener and TV personality.
Fab read - Rated 
This was the first AT novel I have read and was not disappointed. It was great to "see" a story through a chappies eyes for a change - a fantastic read for lounging around the pool on holiday - not sure which I didn't want to end the most. Fab book - now to pick the next one.
A brilliant story - Rated 
This is the first Alan Titchmarsh book I've read and I was not disappointed. I started reading it whilst on sick leave after a nasty fall and it jollied me up no end. I liked Alan's characters very much and felt I was living amongst them for the duration of the story. If you want a pleasant read, with humour, romance and an underlying mystery, then this book certainly fits the bill. Like another reader, I too would like to see a sequel to Love and Dr Devon. Alan's stories would make a nice series of gentle plays for the TV. I am now longing to read another of Alan's books, but which one to choose.....hmm.
The first book in years I've found hard to put down! - Rated
By hard to put down, I mean its been grasped from my hands when I'm supposed to be going out for the evening or because its so very late and I'll never get up in the morning if I don't put the book down. This isn't a book to aid sleep when you're having trouble dropping off because you find yourself anxiously turning to the next page, needing to know more!
Fantasticly believable and loveable characters, excellent plot involving crime, intrigue, romance, love, passion...
But its sadly too short! Please, Alan! Sweetie! Write a sequel!
Even better than "Only Dad"....... - Rated
Couldn't put it down. Finished it in 2 days and thats a first for a busy nurse, mother and grandmother. The characters were so good I am hoping for a sequel to the secret society three. My only complaint is it was too short.
Thanks Alan.
Hurry with the next book please.
