In a village of lies, death comes with the snow... A dazzling Christmas murder mystery, perfect for fans of Janice Hallett, from the No.1 bestselling author of the DCI Daley series.

'A quintessential slice of Yuletide murder mystery' Sun 'The feel-good factor is off the scale' The Times 'A fun book. Playful. One to make you smile' Stuart MacBride

A village of secrets It's December 1952, and a dead stranger has been found lodged up the chimney of Holly House in the remote town of Elderby. Is he a simple thief, or a would-be killer? Either way, he wasn't on anyone's Christmas wish list.

A mystery that can't be solved

Inspector Frank Grasby is ordered to investigate. The victim of some unfortunate misunderstandings, he hopes this case will help clear his name. But as is often the way for Grasby, things most certainly don't go according to plan.

A Christmas to remember

Soon blizzards hit the North York Moors, cutting off the village from help, and the local doctor's husband is found murdered. Grasby begins to realise that everyone in Elderby is hiding something - and if he can't uncover the truth soon, the whole country will pay a dreadful price...
