“My father's going to take everything you own and then break your life.”

Hugely entertaining cultish thriller mystery about a posh family, living in a posh house full of posh things, in a posh suburb of London and the people they invited into the house (one of which is the fiddler from Dexy's Midnight Runners) and the way those people slowly, but surely turned everything upside and changed their lives forever in the worst possible way.

As far as these sort of books go, it's right up there with the best, not without fault and as mad as a mad thing can be and oh lordy there's a sequel.
