Rate this book
Mayhem is the fourth uproarious instalment in the fun-packed series, Diary of a Stressed Out Mother . As the year comes to a close, Dora contemplates the insanity of her life, as things continue to spiral into chaos. Her home is becoming an unplanned sanctuary for the elderly and infirm, her garden a scene of reckless destruction, and her shop a magnet for local desperados and the dispossessed. Dealing with a swindling geriatric Lothario, a trio of feisty ferrets, an escaped python, an increasingly bonkers father-in-law, and a series of mysterious disappearances, Dora navigates the madness with spirit and good humour.
