Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

It's Christmas at Westbury Manor and amateur detective Hugh Gaveston must unravel a fiendish mystery...

Christmas Eve, 1938. The Westbury family and assorted friends have gathered for another legendary celebration at their beautiful country house. The champagne flows, the silverware sparkles and upstairs the rooms are ready for their occupants.

But one bed will lie empty that night. On Christmas morning, David Campbell-Scott is found dead in the snow. There's a pistol beside him and only one set of footprints.

Yet something doesn't seem right to amateur sleuth Hugh Gaveston. Campbell-Scott had just returned from overseas with untold wealth - why would he kill himself? Hugh sets out to investigate...

Wonderfully atmospheric, with charming wit and brilliant plotting, Murder Most Festive is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M.C. Beaton and James Runcie's Grantchester series.

I am a sucker for cosy crimes, especially at Christmas. I quite enjoyed the book, it was very nicely read, but I found the language sometimes a bit strange. The story is settled in 1938 and as far as I know for instance, the expression “yada-yada” was coined in the 1960s by Lenny Bruce. Otherwise it was quite enjoyable.

Nice but…
