Curl up by the fire with this Christmas Eve-set Golden Age classic festive whodunnit.
Some things have happened in this house that are not to be cured by pots of tea . . .
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 country house Christmas - but as the bells chime midnight, a mysterious murder takes place: and the killer is among them.
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?
Cyril Hare (1900-1958) was the pseudonym for the lawyer Alfred Alexander Gordon Clark. As a barrister, he handled many of the great crime cases of the 1920s which inspired his hugely popular whodunnits and crime novels, praised by Elizabeth Bowen and P.D. James for their unique authenticity, ingenious plots and witty social commentary.
