With her dearest archenemy, Elizabeth Mapp-Flint, ousted from the Town Council, Lucia, twice-elected Mayor of Tilling, is strangely wearied of her mortal span. For she feels she has accomplished everything – what else is there for her to do?

But Time, and Elizabeth Mapp-Flint, have events of catastrophic proportion in store.

Lucia has hardly launched her project of The Tilling Tapestry when Elizabeth sweeps through Tilling society with her Monopoly Set, putting sewing, bridge and dinner parties to rout, wooing even the obedient Georgie to the delights of buying Vine Street and the Water Works.

Lucia throws off her lethargy and prepares to conquer Tilling anew.

Tom Holt's Lucia books are close to perfect, he clearly understands the characters, the plots are just what you would read in the original and his depictions of human discourse are very well observed - amazing to think he was a university student when he wrote these.

The narrator is also pretty good - she's no Mirriam Margolis, who's narration of the originals set the standard for auditory versions of Tilling - but she certainly doesn't ruin the works (the same can't be said of many of the narrators of the Benson books). I just don't understand why her Georgie Pilson is a Mancunian.

the only non-Benson Lucia that is actually good
