A Spot of Bother
by
by
Recently retired George Hall, a quiet family man, is thrown into a panic when he finds a large spot on his skin. Although his doctor assures him it's not serious, George is convinced it's cancer and he's going to die. Meanwhile, his daughter Katie announces that she is going to marry Ray, a man who might not be right for her. Katie's gay brother, Jamie, is on the outs with his boyfriend. Adding to the stress, George's wife has a smooth, handsome lover.
This is a domestic comedy about a dysfunctional family trying to cope with wedding preparations for an "on again, off again" wedding. In real life, one would hope that George's mental health problems would be taken more seriously. Everyone seems caught up in their own problems and the impending wedding. There are lots of humorous situations with the family members eventually finding out what is important in life. "A Spot of Bother" was a fun read full of catastrophes and comedy. 3.5 stars rounded up.

I like the name of this, it has an old-fashioned appeal to it. I'm already feeling sorry for George. Good review, Connie!

Thanks, Elyse. I'm trying to read some lighter books during this pandemic. We all need to "escape" from the news reports during this time.
