Description

The snow falls, carollers sing, and a killer plots his next move...

London, 1928. Marius Quin and Lady Bella Montague are ready for a quiet Christmas when they learn that Bella's beloved Aunt Adele has met a shocking end in her picture-perfect cottage. Immediately heading for Holly Village, the enclave of retired aristocrats and eccentric pensioners where Adele lived, they discover that her death was far from natural.

The dead woman's priceless Manet painting has vanished, and a cryptic note she left hints at scandalous goings-on among her neighbours. When another resident is murdered during the village Christmas party, it's clear that a devious killer is preying on the sleepy community. Marius and Bella must navigate a web of village intrigue, false identities, and long-buried scandals to stop this from being a Christmas to remember for all the wrong reasons...

A delightfully cozy, twisty Christmas mystery that will charm fans of Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey and T E Kinsey.
