‘Tis the season for murder. . . Curl up with the perfect cosy Christmas crime novel for the festive season, a locked-room murder mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Robert Thorogood and Rev Richard Coles.

‘With echoes of the golden age of crime fiction … very entertainingly done’ The Times

‘Brilliant …A perfect contemporary whodunnit.' Ian Moore, bestselling author of Death and Croissants


Four days before Christmas, twelve stranded strangers gather round a crackling fire, sheltering from the raging storm 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. . .?
