Description
An English Christmas has mince pies, cheerful carols, a twinkling tree... and a murder? Thank goodness Lady Swift is on the scene!
Winter, 1920. Amateur sleuth Lady Eleanor Swift is feeling festive. She is playing host to the entire village at Henley Hall for gifts, games and gingerbread. Shes also purchased perfect presents for each of her household - not forgetting the biggest bone in the butchers shop for her partner in crime, Gladstone the bulldog - and is looking forward to celebrating her first English country Christmas.
As snowflakes fall, Eleanor is cheering on contestants in the traditional Christmas fun run in the grounds of the Hall. But tragedy strikes when one of the runners drops dead at the finish line. Dashing Detective Seldon is convinced its just a heart attack, but Eleanor isnt so sure. When she finds a rather distinctive key where the man fell, Eleanor knows shell never rest until she finds out the truth about what happened in her own home.
Next the vicar is taken ill with what looks like poison and Eleanor starts to wonder if the two cases are linked. When someone tries to frame her by planting poisoned berries in her own kitchen, she knows speed is of the essence. But the entire village was at Henley Hall for the festivities and Eleanor has enough suspects to stuff a town full of turkeys. Can she nail the true killer and clear her name in time for Christmas?
Christmas wont be complete without it! A festive treat for fans of Agatha Christie, TE Kinsey and Lee Strauss.

Oooh I loved this book... I wanted a book which would be absolutely soothing to read with a murder in it and this was it. The book was everything I wanted in these troubling times. I loved it. Book Reviews by Shalini
Worth the wait!! It was an excellent visit once again with people that felt like old friends. I cant wait until the next book in the series is ready to read. Verity Bright has created endearing characters that you want to spend time with again and again. NetGalley Reviewer ??????????
