Things can’t possibly get worse for Tabby. Framed for a crime she didn’t commit, she suddenly finds herself without a job. Then to make matters worse, Tabby’s boyfriend dumps her and gives her cat away to a shelter.

But rescue comes in the form of kindly Mercy. A master of saving waifs and strays, Mercy wants Tabby to breathe new flair into her ailing cracker business. Together, they’ll save Marwood’s Magical Christmas Crackers.

But someone has other ideas. Mercy’s nephew Randal thinks Tabby’s a fraudster. Stubborn, difficult and very attractive, her future depends upon winning him round. But it’s that time of the year when miracles really can happen. Standing under the mistletoe, Tabby’s Christmas is set to be one that she will never forget . . .

Trisha Ashley: A Christmas Cracker

A humor, a stílus, a helyszín, a kedves szereplők, a történet ismerős, szeretem. Nem annyira könnyed viszont, mint az eddigi könyvei Ashleynek. És számomra különlegesen fájdalmas a téma, sokszor azt éreztem, rólam ír. Borzasztó érzés volt. De bízik az emberi humánumban, ezért a boldog vég itt is bekövetkezik, előre látható módon. Ez a különbség kettőnk között, én már tudom, hogy ilyen esetekben nincs boldog vég…

It was indeed a small room, containing a single brass bedstead covered in a fluffy modern duvet, a chest of drawers with a clouded mirror on top and a narrow wardrobe.

We’d advertised for a Santa, and Nick Dagger from the Auld Christmas had been hired. He was very ancient, but insisted he was up to the job and that it would make a nice change of scene from the pub.
‘And I’ve got me own white beard and hair and a pair of black wellies,’ he’d pointed out, which for Mercy at least seemed to be the clincher. Randal was more doubtful, but said if Santa couldn’t stand the pace, then we’d have to draft Job into doing it instead, though I suspected that his deep and mournfully fruity voice would frighten the poor little mites to death.

‘Somehow those bright colours only seem right in Malawi,’ Liz said.
‘What’s Malawian national dress like?’ I asked, interested.
