Rhys Bowen wants you to celebrate during the Twelve Days with a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble. The TWELVE CLUES OF CHRISTMAS, already a New York Times bestseller, is the perfect holiday book. It features everyone's favorite penniless minor royal, Lady Georgie of the Royal Spyness books.

Georgie looks for a way to escape from a dreary family Christmas in Scotland and is thrilled when she is invited to help the hostess of a posh house party in Devonshire. When she arrives everything is picture perfect, and she looks forward to celebrating an idyllic old English Christmas. There are roaring fires, good food and drink, carol singing, silly games and mistletoe. But a series of accidents, each claiming the life of a local person,threatens to spoil the perfect Christmas. The book comes with a compendium of Christmas recipes, games and traditions.
