Susan didn't plan on being an amateur sleuth and, after two successful investigations, she's looking forward to a quiet Christmas.
So, when local businesswoman Meera is in desperate need of help, Susan agrees rather reluctantly.
The task should be easy enough. The infamous press mogul Duncan Fern is coming back to the Isle of Wight, the scene of his family's childhood holidays, to celebrate Christmas with his grown-up children and their partners, his new glamorous wife Kirsten who is forever dripping with diamonds, and the spiky editor of his paper the Morning Flame, Antoine. The newly-refurbished luxurious Bishopstone Manor is the perfect setting for a festive break and all Susan has to do is help Meera host.
But when a snowstorm descends over the island, and the following morning a body is found, Christmas at the Manor takes a darker turn. Can Susan get to the bottom of the mystery before the murderer strikes again...
'I thoroughly enjoyed this intriguing mystery set in a beautiful location with deliciously menacing undercurrents.' Frances Evesham
'A fascinating whodunnit to stimulate even the most demanding of amateur sleuths.' T.A. Williams
Readers love Mary Grand mysteries:
'A really terrific read. I have been reading and enjoying Mary's books for a number of years right from her first one, and this one was well up to Mary's high standard. Brilliant.'
'Another cracking murder mystery from Mary. It kept me intrigued through out. So many red herrings amongst the well created characters. With the added bonus of all the dogs.'
'I absolutely LOVE these psychological thrillers from Mary. On every page is another suspicious thing about someone but then at the end, the twist is a shocker! The fact the books are set on the Isle of Wight is another treat.'
'I love books where you are given lots of clues and have lots of suspects, and are continually changing your mind about who the murderer was. I've read other books by Mary Grand and she's very good at keeping you guessing. And, at the end, I still had it wrong!'
'Mary Grand has crafted another intriguing and cleverly thought out whodunnit. Prepare to be gripped and thrown around on this rollercoaster of a book. Cosy crime is rapidly becoming one of my favourite genres, and Mary Grand one of my favourite authors.'
