'Tis the season for murder, in this locked-room holiday mystery. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Robert Thorogood and Rev Richard Coles.

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.
