Produktbeschreibung

Deck the halls with poison and secrets... A killer is lurking this Christmas. When Lady Marjorie Snellthorpe's peaceful December is interrupted by her son, Jeremy, and five unexpected house guests, she calls in reinforcements: her feisty cousin-in-law, Edna (complete with a festive array of wigs), steadfast Horace and dependable Frederick. She hopes they'll help her survive until the Christmas tree comes. But murder arrives first when Jeremy's thoroughly unpleasant associate, Marcus Singleton, collapses at Marjorie's feet. And it's not a case of too much mulled wine - Marcus has been struck down by something far more deadly. With her dear housekeeper, Gina, in the police's sights as the killer, Marjorie and her friends find themselves unwrapping more secrets than presents. Between old grudges and hidden connections, everyone seems to have a reason to want Marcus dead. And when another attack brings danger to Marjorie's study, it's chillingly clear that someone's Christmas list has more deadly deeds planned. Can Marjorie catch the killer before they strike again, or will there be one less person pulling crackers around her table? A cozy Christmas mystery to delight readers of Richard Coles and The Thursday Murder Club, blending wit, warmth and murder with a side of eggnog.
