Hugo. have come to celebrate with her best friend. Tom. who has taken a job there as a primary-school teacher in the hope of meeting plenty of available and sex-hungry single mothers. Unfortunately. Hugo loathes the countryside. Tom has fallen in love with a single mother who is less interested in him than she would be in a frontal lobotomy. and Sam is flirting with a twenty-two-year-old with the face of a fallen angel. So the discovery of a dead body tied to the village Christmas tree. stabbed forty times with a Swiss Army knife. is an unwelcome complication. especially when Tom becomes the principal suspect. Distracted by the appalling state of her love-life. Sam's not in the best shape for tracking down the murderer before the local police haul Tom off to jail. And will Hugo ever talk to her again?.ISBN: 0091793726. Weight in Kg appr.:
