About this listen

The snow falls, carollers sing, and a killer plots his next move....

London, 1928. Marius Quin and Lady Bella Montague are ready for a quiet Christmas when they learn that Bella’s beloved Aunt Adele has met a shocking end in her picture-perfect cottage. Immediately heading for Holly Village, the enclave of retired aristocrats and eccentric pensioners where Adele lived, they discover that her death was far from natural.

The dead woman’s priceless Manet painting has vanished, and a cryptic note she left hints at scandalous goings-on among her neighbours. When another resident is murdered during the village Christmas party, it’s clear that a devious killer is preying on the sleepy community. Marius and Bella must navigate a web of village intrigue, false identities, and long-buried scandals to stop this from being a Christmas to remember for all the wrong reasons…

A delightfully cozy, twisty Christmas mystery that will charm fans of Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey, and T E Kinsey.

Once again an excellent story and well researched. The usual superb narration keeps the listener's interest. A well deserved 5 star in all respect and a series which I am enjoying.

Enjoyed listening to this whilst crafting. Knew the baddie early on but didn't spoil it. The ending seemed bit rushed as to how Marius worked out and caught the killer. One character sounded like Lord Edgington but as the same narrator does both series not really surprising. Overall a nice Christmas tale.

Very sad to have come to the end of this series. Can’t wait for the next one.
Some readers may have guessed the culprit, not me I changed my mind several times. Brilliant story and I love the background and research at the end.
Will definitely look out for more books by this author. Thank you, please keep them coming.

Great story with a great narrator
