' - ¦ "
Then Mrs Shapiro is admitted to hospital and, to Georgie's surprise, she ; is named as her next of kin. But sorting out Mrs Shapiro's semi-derelict mansion in Highbury, home to seven stinky cats with agendas of their own, is no easy job when the handyman called in to change the locks turns out to be not what he seems and his two assistants, 'the.Uselesses', v are doing more breaking than fixing. , ;?
And what about the two slimy estate agents (one with a charming taste ,-;: for bondage) vvho start competing to trick Mrs Shapiro into selling her .t^. rickety old house, or the social worker determined to commit her to a' _ nursing home? As Georgie steps in to help her new friend, she finds herself unravelling a mystery which takes her from Highbury to wartime ¦¦ Europe to the Middle East, and learning a bit about DIY along the way.
