About this listen

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...

Absolutely adored Jilly Cooper’s hilarious, warm and delightful book Tackle! The narrators were awesome too! Enjoyed every second just wish it could have lasted longer. Please write another ….

A triumph!

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!

I am still, absolutely in love with RCB!!

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.

Superb book. Brilliantly read. Prefer this narrator to the previous one for other books who was good but this is better.

Reading a Jilly Cooper novel is like coming home to a warm hug - not the fanciest of homes, but warm and comfy anyway. I thoroughly enjoyed this latest installment, catching up with old characters and meeting new ones, and Jilly's trademark writing style. Although much shorter than previous novels, the story was still engaging and well-told. I particularly enjoyed the narration - Katherine Parkinson did an outstanding job with the multitude of accents and hit just the right note.
