"he Peacock is witty, entertaining and pitch perfect from first sentence to last,with the comic timing of the final sentence particularly inspired. A week later,I’m still chuckling." Lizzy's Literary Life

"A delicious read." Aachener Zeitung Take a dilapidated castle in the Scottish Highlands; add a peacock gone rogue, a group of bankers on a teambuilding trip, an overwhelmed psychologist, a housekeeper with a broken arm, and an ingenious cook; get Lord and Lady McIntosh to try and keep it all together; and top it off with all sorts of animals – soon no one will know exactly what’s going on. Selling 500,000 copies, Isabel Bogdan’s book is a big hitter in Germany – and now it’s coming home to roost. "A peacock whodunnit meets Monarch of the Glen. Light-hearted and fun, to be enjoyed by the fire, with a whisky, of course. In Annie Rutherford’s translation, it’s hard to imagine it was originally written in German." Kari Dickson, translator of Karin Fossum "A charming, slightly madcap novel." Much Ado Books
