Murder at the Christmas Emporium

A Novel

By: Andreina Cordani

Narrated by: Katherine Press

In this brilliant follow up to The Twelve Days of Murder, a group of Christmas shoppers discover the doors have been locked and that they’ve been trapped by someone who knows their darkest secrets.

It's Christmas Eve at the Emporium, a bespoke gift shop hidden in the depths of London's winding streets, where a select few shoppers are browsing its handcrafted delights.

But when they go to leave, they find the doors are locked and it isn't long before they realize this is no innocent mix-up. The shoppers have been trapped here by someone who knows their darkest secrets, someone will stop at nothing until they have all been unwrapped—and there is a gruesome gift waiting in Santa's grotto . . .

For those that survive the night, it will be a Christmas to remember.

Adrenina has mastered this classic formula

I truly enjoyed her first book and equally liked this one. It is character driven and you need to pay attention at first but eventually you know who everyone is. Katherine Press is outstanding and as a good narrator she brings the book alive. This is one I finished in two days. Once again a very clever ending, I am sure Agatha Christie would approve.
