Utter Folly

(2012)
A novel by

 
 
When a young man visits a well-to-do friend's family he learns some harsh lessons about love, loyalty, and the landed gentry, as his friend's barely-legal sister tried to seduce him, he becomes a suspect in the efforts of a deranged policeman to nail a local retired rock star for drug trafficking, and ends up with all his illusions about the upper classes - including his friends - demolished.

English country life will never be the same again after this story of the upper crust at its most half baked, peopled with eccentric characters and memorable events, including a village fete that turns into a riot, nude family sunbathing and a touch of S&M. Behind the hedges and the high stone walls, strange games are being played and none of them is croquet.
