Publisher's Summary
In Jilly Cooper's latest, raciest novel, Rupert Campbell-Black takes centre stage in the cutthroat world of flat racing.
Rupert is consumed by one obsession: that Love Rat, his adored grey horse, be proclaimed champion stallion. He longs to trounce Roberto's Revenge, the stallion owned by his detested rival, Cosmo Rannaldini, which means abandoning his racing empire at Penscombe and his darling wife, Taggie, and chasing winners in the richest races worldwide, from Dubai to Los Angeles to Melbourne.
Luckily the fort at home is held by Rupert's assistant, Gav, a genius with horses, fancied by every stable lass but damaged by alcoholism and a vile wife. When Gala, a grieving but ravishing Zimbabwean widow moves to Penscombe as carer for Rupert's wayward father, it is not just Gav who is attracted to her: a returning Rupert finds himself dangerously tempted.
Gala adores horses, and when she switches to working in the yard, her carer's job is taken by a devastatingly handsome South African man who claims to be gay but seems far keener on caring for the angelic Taggie. And as increasingly sinister acts of sabotage strike at Penscombe, the game of musical loose boxes gathers apace....

Marvellous Mount
An avid follower of Jilly Cooper's Rutshire chronicles for over 20 years - Mount doesn't disappoint. Bringing to life familiar characters and introducing new individuals to the Cotswold countryside. I listened non stop all weekend - it felt like a reunion of old friends and scandalous family members. I laughed and cried and clapped my hands over my mouth in equal measure. Please don't let this be the last instalment Jilly...

Spot on!
I've read all of Jilly Cooper's books about Rupert Campbell-Black and friends but this is my first audiobook version. It was spot on - really brought the characters to life, just as I had imagined their voices. As with all the books, it was great fun and a really good read. Looking forward to the next one!

Great end to a story
I never thought that it would be possible to have a great sequel but I found this was fantastic. It had all the trappings like riders but had suspense and longing and love. Awesome finish keeping you guessing till the end. Loved it

Classic Jilly Cooper
Having read Riders and Polo in my 20s I have been pleasurably working my way through all Jilly Cooper’s Rutshire Chronicles on audiobook.
I thoroughly enjoyed “Mount!” As usual a great story featuring lots of larger-than-life characters and insights into the racing world.
Just one small quibble; being from Zimbabwe the narrator did not get Gala’s Zimbabwean accent right - I cringed whenever I heard it. But other than that she did a great job and the story flowed well and was easy to listen to.

I need more
I read all the Jilly Cooper Rutshire Chronicles in my 20's and it has been fun revisiting them on audio, the narrator bringing the characters to life.
I just need more - I never want them to stop and I remember that feeling after many years away, at seeing MOUNT on the bookshelves.
It was like seeing an old friend again
