My personal favourite of Katie Fforde's books ( )

Jenny Porter, a ‘virtual assistant’, spends her life sorting out other people’s problems. But when one of her clients asks her to go to Scotland to do a little hands-on investigation into a woollen mill he has a financial interest in, it doesn’t turn out to be the working holiday she hoped for. For not only does her role at Dalmain House include rather a lot of unexpected tasks – of which the cooking is the least taxing – but she also finds herself charmed into helping run ‘The Homely Haggis’, a mobile burger bar.

But it’s when her abrasive customer, Ross Grant, turns out to be someone she can genuinely talk to, that she really gets confused. And when Jenny finds herself torn between loyalty to her client and letting down the people of Drumossie, her problem-solving skills are stretched to the limit. It’s a pity they don’t seem able to stretch to sorting out her own, increasingly complicated personal life.

Just a bit too wacky for me - not one of her best http://www.dnsmedia.co.uk/reviews/view/1193 ( )

"Highland Fling" sees main character Jenny try save a mill in the Scottish countryside even though this isn't her usual line of work.
A lovely setting with some fussy characters makes this a delectable read.
I have read a few more of Katie Fforde's books (The Rose Revived, Wild Designs, Flora's Lot).
She writes with charm and a good heaping of humour.
Her storylines are simple and conflict between the characters is usually done with buoyant dialogue.
I find some of her books a bit too short though!
