Deel 1 in de Coco Pinchard-serie van multitalent Bryndza. Ha Chris, heb je een goede kerst gehad? Ik niet. Ik kreeg de volgende cadeaus: Marlboro Lights.

Drie paar dikke zwarte kousen en een fles antimuggenspray, aan elkaar getapet. 'Voor je spataderen,' fluisterde Meryl. Ik neem maar aan dat ze de kousen bedoelde. Een iPhone, waarover later meer. Coco Pinchard is net veertig geworden en ze voelt zich fantastisch.
