    About this series

    Gingle bells, gingle bells, gingle all the way…

    Olive Turner might have lived through eighty-four Christmases, but she'll never get bored of her favourite time of year. And this one's set to be extra-special. It's the Gin Shack's first Christmas – and there's a gin-themed weekend and a cocktail competition on the cards!

    But, beneath the dazzle of fairy lights and the delicious scent of mince-pies, Olive smells a rat. From trespassers in her beloved beach hut to a very unfunny joke played on her friends, it seems that someone is missing a dose of good cheer.

    Olive knows she's getting on a bit – but is she really imagining that someone in the little seaside town is out to steal Christmas? More importantly, can she create the perfect gin cocktail before Christmas Eve – in time to save the day?

    ‘Olive is back and better than ever, putting the gingle into Christmas!' – Rachel Dove

    ‘I absolutely loved this fun festive read, packed full of Christmas cocktails. Delicious!' Heidi Swain

    ‘Full of festive fizz…Olive's return is a real tonic!' Fay Keenan

      You're never too old to try something new! When octogenarian Olive Turner is persuaded by her son to move into a retirement home, she congratulates herself on finding the secret to an easy life: no washing up, cooking or cleaning. But Olive isn't one for mindless bingo with her fellow residents, and before the first day is over she's already hatching a plan to escape back to her beloved beach hut and indulge in her secret passion for a very good gin amp; tonic. Before long Olive's secret is out and turning into something wonderful and new. Only a select few are invited, but word spreads quickly about the weekly meetings of The Gin Shack Club. Soon everybody on the beach wants to become a gin connoisseur and join Olive on her journey to never being forced to grow older than you feel. A journey of friendship, defiance and a quest for the perfect Gamp;T.
