Is Rebecca Jumpitt an infuriating mother-in-law on the verge of paranoia, or is she really the centre of a conspiracy that is set to change the very structure of society? This short novel is written for those who have troublesome mother-in-laws and their families. It explores the often unspoken relationships that are common in families. It opens the possibility that things are not what they appear to be and yet even the apparent conspiracy has a twist with the reader at times having doubts as to whether there is indeed a conspiracy. This is a novel about human relationships, and a murder mystery with psychological and political overtones. It is written in a semi-humorous and blunt style and looks at what is happening from the points of view of different family members.
