'Wickedly funny . . . a delight' Katie Fforde

William intends to spend Christmas alone with his cat. But with so many empty rooms at the grand Haseley House, William has no excuse when his large and eccentric family invite themselves to stay.

As Christmas Day approaches, William's son, daughter and sister arrive, bringing with them partners, children, nannies, friends and hidden agendas ...

Surely with a house so large, William and Scratch can keep to themselves. But a quiet Christmas is not to be. Soon William is caught up in his family's dramatic rivalries, and he uncovers some dubious intentions. He knows it wouldn't be Christmas without a bit of mayhem, but this particular family Christmas is going to change everybody's lives . . .
