Murder at Mistletoe Manor

£9.99

Welcome to Misletoe Manor. With just four days til Christmas, Nick, an investigative journalist, is desperate to get home to his wife and baby daughter. But when his frozen car stutters to a stop, Nick struggles over white fields to the distant glinting lights of a small hotel. Welcomed in from the cold, he meets the other guests. English rose Penelope and her wealthy American husband, basking in second-chance love. Matilda, an elderly widow, reminiscing about holidays past with her now-scattered family. And wistful Violet, recovering from heartbreak. But Nick’s relief at finding shelter is short-lived. There is no phone signal, no internet, and, as the snowfall deepens, no means of escape. Because the next morning, Penelope is found murdered, with the Christmas tree star covered in blood. And twelve strangers suddenly become eleven suspects.

Welcome to Mistletoe Manor Hotel. Four days before Christmas, twelve stranded strangers gather round a crackling fire?

They are sheltering from the storm raging outside. But their relief is short-lived: as the snow deepens, the tree-lined avenue winding through the hotel’s parkland becomes impassable. Their isolation is complete.

The next morning, a body is found in one of the luxurious four-poster beds.

As twelve strangers become eleven suspects, who among them has checked in with murder in mind?

And will any of them live to see another Christmas??

This festive locked-room mystery is perfect for fans of cosy whodunits, Agatha Christie and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett.

‘Murder in a snowed-in country hotel – and a killer with a grudge against the season of goodwill. What could be better?’ Faith Martin

‘A festive mystery to read by the fire with a glass of mulled wine… brilliantly inventive… will keep you turning the pages well into the night. Loved it.’ Catherine Cooper
