Summary

Brought to you by Penguin. 

Also published as A Christmas Party.

It is no ordinary Christmas at Lexham Manor. Six holiday guests find themselves the suspects of a murder enquiry when the old Scrooge, Nathaniel Herriad, who owns the substantial estate, is found stabbed in the back. Whilst the delicate matter of inheritance could be the key to this crime, the real conundrum is how any of the suspects could have entered the locked room to commit this foul deed. For Inspector Hemingway of Scotland Yard, 'tis the season to find whodunit.

I love this story. So amusing and with a good twist. Her intricate plotting will leave you wondering who did it, and then enjoying the jokes on subsequent reads.
