The blighted Bagthorpe family lurch into yet more crises as their superegos and malicious intents spur them to create yet greater havoc and mayhem, both for themselves and those unfortunate enough to be around them. No wonder Mrs B has disappeared with a nervous breakdown in the wake of Mrs Fosdyke, herself still in 'Occasional Thurpy'. As for Henry, he's in the cells suspected of his wife's murder, much to the delight of his own mother, who shopped him and has now turned her attention to flower arranging with nettles. A must for the fans, who'll relish Book 8 along with the rest. My 22-year-old son who was weaned on Bagthorpes, snaffled this one and has subsequently set off on re-reading all the others.
