An amateur-investigator story, a black comedy, a family saga, The Hoarder knots together a number of genres, but with Bridlemere at its centre - part Bluebeard's castle, part fly-tipped Manderley. The lone occupant of a Gothic mansion crawling with feral cats, he has been waging war against his son's attempts to put him into an old-age home and sent his last caretaker running for the madhouse. But Maud is this impossible man's last chance: if she can help him get the house in order, he just might be able to stay.
