It looks like a regular advent calendar. Until DC Becky Greene starts opening doors...and discovers a crime scene behind almost every one. The police hope it's a prank. Because if it isn't, a murderer has just surfaced - someone who's been killing for 20 years. But why now? And why has he sent it to this police station?

As the country relaxes into festive cheer, Greene and DS Eddie Carmine must race against time to catch the killer. Because there are four doors left, and four murders will fill them.... It's shaping up to be a deadly little Christmas.

What did you like best about The Deaths of December? What did you like least?

the plot was okay - the Christmas approach was clever

Was The Deaths of December worth the listening time?

it was ok, the writing was average - good to listen to if you were doing other things, it did not need or keep your attention.

Any additional comments?

rather formulaic not really the cliffhanger that it could have been

not sure

I really enjoyed this book - the kind of macabre advent calendar that nobody wants to find. Intriguing story, some parts which were really tense and great narration. Loved the characters and hope that the series continues.

A great, not so festive Christmas tale

.. the only thing I didn’t like to begin with was the speed of the narration, I thought Simon Mattacks was rushing a bit too much, I did get used to it but it was the only thing that took away one star from my review. I loved the story and would like to read more from this author.

Good story...
