Produktbeschreibung

A Geoffry Chadwick Misadventure, Book 4 - Geoffry Chadwick has a stalker. But between avoiding Christmas parties, gift shopping, moving his mother into a senior living facility, handling his recently widowed sister, and dealing with the loss of his long-term boyfriend Patrick, Geoffry Chadwick does not have time for a stalker.

Facing a bleak Christmas, Geoffry Chadwick is cheered to discover a kindred spirit in the recently widowed Elinor Richardson. They met at a party he had wanted to avoid and when he offered to escort her home they found that her apartment was full of smoke from a neighbor's neglect. After Chadwick offered her the use of his mother's apartment, Chadwick's sister Mildred flew into town also deciding to use the apartment for a last Christmas with their mother. Hilarity and madness ensued. With a Canadian stiff upper lip Geoffry Chadwick refuses to be a victim of a stalker.

This new edition contains a newspaper article from Phillips musing on his 1987 Crime Writers of Canada Award for Best Novel.

Witty, diverting, and socially accurate … [Chadwick's] social commentary is scathing, but his manner is unfailingly genial. A man who believes that the four food groups are alcohol, sugar, fat and caffeine, Geoffry Chadwick relishes both the surface and the undercurrents of conversation. He possesses an endearing love of festivity. When he meets his killer face to face, even then he entertains himself with the lunacy of the situation; no one can possibly be murdered right after Christmas dinner, and certainly not in Canada … The novel has its share of surprises, and a few dark corners, too. Loneliness hovers; decrepitude and death lie in wait. But meanwhile, Geoffry Chadwick's party goes on." - Carol Shields, The Globe and Mail
