Murder under the Christmas tree

£9.99

A murderer who materialises in a field of snow, leaving no footprints. Blackmail on Christmas Eve. A missing jewel discovered in a very festive hiding place. A body slumped in a chair on Christmas morning, still listening to carols. The midnight theft of a gift intended for a saint. Crime doesn’t take a holiday, so these – and many more – are the puzzles that make up ‘Murder Under the Christmas Tree’, a collection of festive mysteries featuring fictional sleuths from Miss Marple to Sherlock Holmes, Cadfael to Father Brown.

Description

Christmas is a time of goodwill to all men … or is it? As the nights draw in, throw another log on the fire and settle back into your armchair to enjoy this collection of ten classic Christmas mysteries, in which crime’s best known sleuths, from Rebus to Holmes and Cadfael to Father Brown, uncover murder and mayhem galore.Whether it’s a Christmas goose with a surprising secret cargo, a murdered pantomime dame, or a killer who departs the scene of the crime without leaving a single footprint, these stories will puzzle and delight in equal measure. And along the way, there’ll be enough carols and Christmas pudding, mistletoe and mulled wine, to warm the heart of a stone-cold killer … perhaps.
