Product Description
Will’s just left his girlfriend, and needs a new place to stay. The huge house in north Oxford seems too good to be true – till he meets his new housemates. They’re all at least twenty years older than him, and range from camp to raucous. But somehow he finds he’s taken the spare room, and once he’s involved in the house it’s hard to escape. Especially when he’s given the challenge of finding a lost will that could prevent his new housemates being evicted…

Format:Paperback
This is another good page turner, it doesn't require a lot of deep thought but it is gripping enough to keep you wanting to know more.
The story centres around a wonderful house, which has been home to a couple and their son for many years, when the husband dies, and with a son who has little contact, Bea decides rather than move out to take in lodgers - but not student, fly by night personalities but older more mature (not necessarily the case) adults who can bring something to the remainder of Bea's years. The book opens informing the reader that Bea is dead and her room is up for rent. Which I found bizzare but the story unfolds through this.
Joy, Hugh, Terry and Bruno affect Bea in many different ways bringing order and disorder to her life and house. Will and Harrie are strong characters who act as catalysts for the main and tell the story of themselves and the house.
The books is cleverly written, swapping between what can only be called the past (when Bea was alive) and the present, with Bea dead and the problems of her will. (It doesn't go unnoticed that the man they let rent her room is called Will). It shows the strengths and weaknesses that all people have with their lives and how some are brought to the foray by interaction with others.
If you want to good book to while away a couple of nights (that's how long it took me) then this is the book for you, it can leave you with that warm content feeling when you have finished.

I found this to be an easy book to read, amusing, entertaining and I liked the characters. This is the first book I have read by this author and I will certanly read more.
Format:Hardcover
An intriguing plot, with the switching between the past and the present. Not particularly great, but an entertaining read.
