An English Murder: The Golden Age Classic Christmas Mystery

★★★★★

English

By (author): Cyril Hare

The snow is thick, the phone line is down, and no one is getting in or out of Warbeck Hall. With friends and family gathered round the fire, all should be set for a perfect Christmas, but as the bells chime midnight, a mysterious murder takes place.

Who can be responsible? The scorned young lover? The lord's passed-over cousin? The social climbing politician's wife? The Czech history professor? The obsequious butler? And perhaps the real question is: can any of them survive long enough to tell the tale?

About Cyril Hare

Cyril Hare was the pseudonym for the distinguished lawyer Alfred Alexander Gordon Clark. He was born in Surrey in 1900 and was educated at Rugby and Oxford. A member of the Inner Temple he was called to the Bar in 1924 and joined the chambers of Roland Oliver who handled many of the great crime cases of the 1920s. He practised as a barrister until the Second World War after which he served in various legal and judicial capacities including a time as a county court judge in Surrey. Hare's crime novels many of which draw on his legal experience have been praised by Elizabeth Bowen and P.D. James among others. He died in 1958 - at the peak of his career as a judge and at the height of his powers as a master of the whodunit.
