A classic mystery for the festive season: mulled wine, mince pies…and murder. Mordecai Tremaine, former tobacconist and perennial enthusiast of romance books, has been invited to spend Christmas in the sleepy community of Sherbroome at the country retreat of 1 Benedict Grame. Arriving on Xmas Eve, he finds how the revelries are completely stream – but therefore as well are tensions between the range of guests. Midnight attacks and the party-goers discover that it’s not simply presents nestling under the tree…there’s a dead body too. A dead body that bears a impressive resemblance to SANTA CLAUS. Using the snow dropping and the suspicions flying, it’s up to Mordecai to sniff out the culprit – and prevent someone else from getting murder for Christmas.
