Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Jilly Cooper's legendary hero returns!

Rupert Campbell-Black, undefeated race-horse owner and handsomest man in the world, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy, his beloved horse Love Rat has died, and now his daughter Bianca wants him to buy a languishing local football club - a sport Rupert knows nothing about - so she can return to Rutshire with her football star husband.

Rupert's first impressions of Searston Rovers are distinctly unfavourable. But swayed by Bianca and Taggie, soon Rupert has signed the deal. As Searston's new owner, he won't stand for anything less than victory in the Premier League, despite the odds being stacked against him. With help from the club's ravishing and adorable secretary, Tember West, Rupert sets out to mastermind Searston's rise to the top, starting with taking charge of the players - much to the fury of Searston's manager.

The rival football club and their corrupt dealings aren't going to make it easy for him either - and they have a history of foul play. Let the sabotage and scandal begin...

I am still, absolutely in love with RCB!!

It was OK. It didn't grip me like her previous books have; nonetheless I finished it in a few days. It was nice to hear about past characters, and I loved that Dora had such a big part in it. whilst I enjoyed it, there weren't enough storylines and character development, which had always been so brilliant in her other books lacked a bit.
Definitely a must though for all Jilly Cooper fans, even if just for the RCB fix!

Amazing as always

I started reading about Rupert CB when I was a teen and have read them over and over. I was so happy when Tackle was released and I was not disappointed. Jilly you are truly an amazing author. Please start the next book soon.

One of the weirdest books of all time

Does jilly cooper know anything about football? It seems not. Also not enough of what makes Jilly Cooper special…

Great book dreadful narration

Absolutely adore jilly Cooper. But had to stop audible and buy the hard back copy because I couldn’t stand the narrator’s voice. She was dreadful!
Loved the book though from start to finish

Like old times

It was lovely to catch up with Rupert and company after so long and I was not disappointed. I did not like the accent for Taggy but otherwise super

A walk down memory lane!

Brilliant new twist, with favourite characters, plus easy listening and well narrated. Thoroughly enjoyed - highly recommend to JC fans.

Tackle

Another excellent book in the Rutshire chronicles. Have enjoyed reading and listening to them all .My only criticisms are that some of the narrators voices and accents felt poor and patronising.Also the book concluded very quickly compared to other books in the series . I expected more development of the sub plots . I guess that’s down to Jilly’s age and concentration. Still great fun.
