A Very Coco Christmas (Coco Pinchard, #4)

by Robert Bryndza

'I love the fact that Robert Bryndza can turn his hand to both crime thrillers and comedy! If you haven't discovered Coco Pinchard yet, then this is the perfect introduction!' Joanne Robertson, My Chestnut Reading Tree

A Very Coco Christmas is a delicious, stand-alone prequel short story to Robert Bryndza's smash-hit Coco Pinchard series, with a glorious cast of characters including Daniel's mother Ethel, sister Meryl - and a turkey called Jean Paul Belmondo...


It's 1985, and eighteen-year-old Coco Pinchard is home in London for Christmas after her first term at Aberystwyth University.

She has started to write, and fallen hopelessly in love with Daniel Pinchard, a devilishly handsome musician from the wrong side of the river. But Coco's overbearing mother has other plans and resumes her campaign for Coco to meet and marry the 'right sort of man', preferably Kenneth, son of her best friends Adrian and Yvonne Rosebury, who will be joining them for Christmas.

As snow falls softly over the city, and Coco tries to juggle a series of hilarious events, the stage is set for a Christmas lunch like no other.

Well I have to say it, so typical of Coco!! I loved meeting Coco, or Karen to her family, and Daniel when they were young.

Meeting her snobby mum, and then it slowly clicked with me who Kenneth was and meeting a young Chris and the mention of Tony! Oh the smile on my face, when you first meet everyone. Coco’s mum, well what a snob and the food parcel she gave Daniel had me choking on my water. These books really should come with a hazard warning!

Ethel, well I do not need to say but even a younger Ethel was hilarious. Bold as brass on Christmas Day and her turkey! Yes a real-life turkey, causing havoc. It is a shame this was a novella, as I would have loved to know more about them when they were young and when Daniel seemed like an alright type of guy!


I am still riding on the Coco high, and not looking forward to finishing the next novella because I cannot handle it ending! This is a cute story in time for Christmas, one of laughter and a lot of love. Coco is still my favourite. How about a spin-off book about Ethel, now there’s a thought!
