Trouble in Combe Tollbridge
(2024)(The second book in the Exmoor Harbour series)
A novel by Roseanna Hall
When Combe Tollbridge opens its doors to visitors, its colourful residents realise all too late what trouble it can bring to their sedate village life...
Combe Tollbridge, on the Exmoor coast, is a quiet fishing village always happy to welcome visitors for the sake of the local economy, but when an irritating journalist looks like staying overtime, a dine-and-dash couple plays tricks in the neighbourhood, and a family with more than one secret to hide features in the national news, the mixed blessing that is tourism becomes all too clear.
Meanwhile Professor Tolliday visits the coastal village for the first time in fifty years with his family. The once irresponsible student has come back to make belated amends, but it is his mischievous little granddaughter whose holiday fun causes the most trouble for the village.
*** Praise for the Exmoor Harbour Tales series ***
'A fun and entertaining book that was a joy to read. Combe Tollbridge is full of quirky and loveable characters that I'll look forward to meeting again' Rachel Burton, author of The Tearoom on the Bay
'An entertaining, richly textured novel of village life that lifts the spirits and makes you smile. I loved the characters, learned a lot from their experiences and believed in them as people. I'm moving in as soon as the next cottage is on the market' Peter Lovesey, author of Showstopper
Genre: General Fiction
