The Siege of Wrenstock Gardens - Suzanna Stanbury - Bog

Based on the popular column, The Parson Street Nose.
The Siege of Wrenstock Gardens is fast, fun and full of eccentric characters.
Noreen Bottle is convinced her new neighbour, Marsha Sludger, a rum-soaked aspiring author with a taste for disco-bunny clothes will bring trouble to their cosy street.
One night Marsha asks Noreen for help in escaping her brutish ex-husband. Noreen hides Marsha in the family caravan in Brean, but is annoyed when the wretched woman won't stay put.
Marsha's publisher, Grayzon Devine, a man abounding with peacock tendencies turns up in hysterics recounting the terrifying tale of Marsha's abduction.
In trying to trace the missing Marsha, Noreen, her husband Skipper and Grayzon are caught up in what is less of a mystery and more of a mess.
Guns, drugs and dog-napping, Noreen takes it all in her stride, but when the BBC arrive, even she has to admit everything has gone over the top.
