Murder at the Christmas Market

Beschreibung

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.

Autor

Dawn Brookes is an award-winning and occasional international bestselling author with an MA in Creative Writing. From an early age, she enjoyed losing herself in stories. After a four-decade career in nursing and midwifery, Dawn turned her hand to writing. With over twenty-three novels and more to follow, Dawn loves writing the stories she would enjoy reading. Her keen sense of humour comes out in her writing. "My years as a nurse, midwife, and community matron have given me a wealth of experiences to draw from," Dawn explains. "I've seen firsthand how medical situations can quickly turn complex and even dangerous. I believe this knowledge adds an extra layer of authenticity to my mysteries." Dawn's passion lies in character-driven books, films and TV programmes. In her spare time, she enjoys playing golf, watching tennis, reading, travel (especially cruising), and adopting the occasional rescue dog. "I believe there are no limits to what a person can achieve if they set their mind to it, no matter what background we are born into, we should not be restrained by boundaries."
