Publisher's Synopsis
Meet the ultimate Scrooge... The festive season in the Cornish village of Portwenn is not going to be easy for curmudgeonly Doc Martin. His idea of a perfect Christmas Day is to remain steadfastly alone and catch up with back issues of The Lancet. However, Portwenn is fighting off the cold and frost with determined revelry before it heads into its deep winter sleep, and his patients are even more exasperating than usual. Not to mention his on-off relationship with local schoolteacher, Louisa. It will take all of Doc Martin's willpower to fend off the attentions of the Christmas spirit...
