Book 1 in The Heathcliff Lennox seriesIt's 1920 and Christmas is coming. Major Lennox finds a body on his doorstep - why on his doorstep? Was it to do with the Countess? Was it about the ruby necklace? Lennox goes to Melrose Court home to his uncle, Lord Melrose, to uncover the mystery. But then the murders begin and it snows and it all becomes very complicated....Major Heathcliff Lennox, ex-WW1 war pilot, six feet 3 inches, tousled, dark blond hair, age around 30 - named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother - much to his great annoyance. Murder at Melrose Court is the first book in the Lennox series.

This is actually a prequel to the mystery series, of with the tagged book is the first novel.
This is an event that happend in Lennox's days in the was. Well-written, but a bit meandering and with not much focus.
It read swiftly, though.

Finished this last night. Loved the cover. Wanted to love the story but I quickly lost interest.

Finished this one a few days ago, but had to think about it I enjoyed it that much. It wasn't as entertaining as I'd hoped, but wasn't a total let down either. And I did like the main character, Heathcliff Lennox.. So while I'm only giving this a so so rating, I am going ahead and reading the second in the series.

Decided to give this one a go, looks entertaining and not too deep.. Only a couple chapters in, so far, so good.. First lines in and there was a dead man discovered on the front step. A man unknown to Lennox and the household.. With a cryptic note in his pocket.. Should be jolly fun, I think.

I found a newish winter mystery read on Kindle Daily deals! This seems to have become a delightful tradition for me in the last couple of years thanks to Litsy - the incongruous cozy Christmas murder. ❄️🗡🎄

kspenmoll I enjoy reading Christmas cozy‘s as well. Will look for this. 5y

batsy Ooh, fun! The first line of the Litsy description is tempting. Unfortunately it's unavailable on Kindle for me, maybe because of licensing issues for this region 😕 5y
Tamra @batsy booooo 👎🏾👎🏾 That stinks. 5y
