The Old Ducks' Hen Do by Maddie Please

5.0

The Old Ducks Hen do is the second book in the old ducks series but it can easily be read as a standalone.    Oh my goodness I loved this book so very much.   Denny who is in her early sixties has recently retired and has just been invited to her stepsister Juliette’s hen party in Majorca.    There’s absolutely nothing to stop her from going as she is now retired so the world is her oyster.    Denny gets the surprise of her life when she arrives at the Majorcan villa they are staying in and who she sees leaves her positively dumbstruck for a while.   The story mainly revolved around Denny but the other female characters we were first introduced to in the first book of the series but this book clearly explains who they all are.  One of the things I Ioved about this book was the more mature lady element and it goes to show that women over a certain age can still have lots of fun and laughter.   Packed full of humour but also there was a slightly serious side to this read in parts which made the book all the more poignant and interesting.   I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this book and I really hope there will be a third book in the series as I want to find out more about The Old Ducks.
