2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
'Tis the season to solve a mystery... a dazzling murder mystery from the bestselling author of Murder at Holly House. A case shrouded in secrets. Its just before Christmas, 1953. Frank and Juggers are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthleys Bay. A fisherman has been found dead on the beach, with a stocking wound tight round his throat. A festive mystery for one and all. Hundreds of pairs of stockings, in neat cellophane bags, soon wash up on the shore. A blizzard cuts off Frank and Juggers from help, and the local innkeeper is murdered. Any remaining Christmas cheer goes up in smoke as the villagers refuse to talk, leaving the two detectives chasing false leads in the snow. A winter wonderland with no escape. To make matters worse, Frank cant stop thinking about stockings. Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery, even beneath their oilskins? Who is the sinister man snooping around their hotel? And how can they solve the murder when everyone in the village is a suspect? Readers love The Christmas Stocking Murders: Atmospheric, amusing, a book to read by a fireside. ***** This book is a delight. ***** I found myself chuckling along. ***** A wonderful page-turner. ***** These books are a tonic. ***** A Christmas joy. *****

Grasby is back with another unnecessarily convoluted murder mystery.

As with the last one, I couldn't actually tell you who did the actual murdering. It was clear as mud what was happening by the end.

And yet, I really enjoy these because Grasby is such a character. They are genuinely entertaining.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 2 in a seasonal series featuring Inspector Frank Grasby. I haven‘t read book 1 yet, but that didn‘t affect my enjoyment of this. Grasby is a strange combination of cowardly incompetent and brilliant deduction.
