Lightweight but amusing - By: LindyLouMac, 25 May 2008
Two sessions & this rather trite little mystery romance by one of the UK's favourite gardeners was finished. This one did not reallly appeal to me very much. Although I have read alll 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 & Gary Flynn. The title I felt did not fit very well as the story gives alll three men a little love interest & intrigue in their lives, not just Dr Devon.
Somehow between them they stumble on a local mystery loosely connected by a Chinese man & Dr Devon's concerns about the local GP practice.

A lightweight amusing novel. Though I prefer his work as a gardener & TV personality.

Fab read - By: Book Bug, 02 Nov 2007
This was the first AT novel I have read & 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 - By: Mrs. L. E. Ford, 31 Aug 2007
This is the first Alan Titchmarsh book I've read & I was not disappointed. I started reading it whilst on sick leave after a nasty falll & it jollied me up no end. I liked Alan's characters very much & felt I was living amongst them for the duration of the story. If you want a pleasant read, with humour, romance & an underlying mystery, then this book certainly fits the bill. Like another reader, I too would like to see a sequel to Love & 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! - By: Samm C, 01 Oct 2006
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 & 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 & 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"....... - By: Mrs. F. ELLIS, 28 Aug 2006
Couldn't put it down. Finished it in 2 days & thats a first for a busy nurse, mother & 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.
