Description
"A classic village murder mystery, packed with comforts and crimes at Christmas with rural traditions at its heart" - Debbie Young, author of The Sophie Sayers Mysteries . " This book has jeopardy, suspense, humour and some of the most beautiful prose I've come across. Here's an extract: 'Above, the cloudless sky deepens to a crow-black, with the new moon invisible to the naked eye. Without its dominant glow, stars sparkle all the brighter, like crystals of salt on Cornish slate. A stillness settles over the landscape. An owl screeches.' Did the hairs on your neck just rise? Good. This is the best Stubbs yet, and one of the best books I've read ." - Dawn Gill, Amazon reviewer
