Tom Fletcher expected a tidy inheritance and a swift return to city life. Instead, he inherits a crumbling Cheshire marina that is listing heavily to starboard. Between catastrophic plumbing and the suspicious narrowboats of a floating village, Tom is drowning. Meddling eccentrics Alan and Margaret keep him on his toes, while Emma Fletcher and Arthur find themselves swept up in the escalating chaos. His dreams of a quick sale are vanishing beneath the murky canal water, yet the locals are determined to keep him afloat. As the leaks multiply, Tom must decide if he can trade his rigid schedule for the unpredictable rhythm of the waterways. Fans of 'The Darling Buds of May' and 'All Creatures Great and Small' will find much to admire in this gentle, character-driven story. It celebrates the quiet kindness of neighbours and the humorous mishaps of narrowboat life. Slow Moving Traffic is the first in a planned ten-book series, offering a vivid retreat into a world of sensory settings, intergenerational friendships, and the understated charm of the English countryside. Will he finally find his feet, or is he destined to sink in the slow lane?
