Pre-order the gripping new Christmas murder mystery, from the bestselling author of Murder at Holly House. As the snow falls, the hunt for a killer begins...
It’s Christmas Day 1954 and Frank Grasby’s father is getting married at Rowntree Hall. To make matters worse, Frank is best man.
Important clergymen and Frank’s boss, Inspector Arthur Juggers, line the hall as the bride glides down the aisle. The snow whirls outside, cutting them off from the rest of the world, and Reverend Welling steps into the pulpit. He starts to speak and stutters – falls. The horrified guests rush to his side, but Welling is already dead. Poisoned by mistletoe.
As Juggers and Grasby investigate, they discover dark secrets in this hallowed hall. Time is running out to save the wedding. Where do you turn for help, when even the clergy can’t be trusted?
