On the day they are born each Swift is brought before the sacred Family Dictionary. hey are given a name and definition which it is assumed they will grow up to match. Unfortunately Shenanigan Swift has other ideas. So what if her relatives all think she's destined to turn out a troublemaker? Shenanigan knows she can be whatever she wants - pirate explorer or even detective. Which is lucky really because when one of the Family tries to murder Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude someone has to work out whodunnit. With the help of her sisters and cousin Shenanigan grudgingly takes on the case . . . but more murders a hidden treasure and an awful lot of suspects make things seriously complicated. Can Shenanigan catch the killer before the whole household is picked off? And in this Family where definitions are so important can she learn to define herself?
