A Scandal at Christmas
(Author) Catherine CooksonHarry Blenheim had always been known as 'the nice bloke' - an inoffensive man whose existence many thought was as dull as ditchwater.

Harry reasoned that, with luck, he could have avoided It all, but the roots of the problem lay much deeper. There was his rapidly cooling marriage, and his hatred of his unscrupulous father-in-law. Now Harry was in real trouble, and it would take all the efforts of his dearly-loved daughter Gail and his staunch friends Janet and Robbie Dunn to help him pick up the pieces and start to live again...
