Another holiday mystery from the author of Murder at Holly House
A case shrouded in secrets.
Christmas, 1953. Inspector Frank Grasby and Superintendent Arthur Juggers are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthley Bay‑a fisherman has been found dead on the beach, a stocking twisted around his throat.
A festive mystery for one and all.
Any remaining holiday cheer vanishes when a blizzard isolates the village from the rest of the country. The villagers refuse to talk, leaving Grasby and Juggers chasing false leads in the snow.
A winter wonderland with no escape.
To make matters worse, Grasby can't stop thinking about stockings. Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery? Who is the sinister bespectacled man snooping around the hotel?
And how can you solve a murder when everyone is a suspect?
