A Christmas murder mystery from the author of Death & Croissants

A Christmas short story – the perfect stocking filler for cosy crime listeners

Richard Ainsworth is preparing for the Christmas of his dreams: quiet, no guests at his French B&B and his favourite films on the TV. None of which seems on the cards when his rural peace is shattered by the unexpected arrival of a familiar face.

Valérie d’Orçay has hotfooted it from Paris with her chihuahua in tow and an invitation to a Christmas themed murder mystery game. Richard begrudgingly dresses up as Father Christmas, but the costume becomes the least of his worries when he realises this isn't a game to everyone. As other guests arrive to join the hunt, can Richard work out who is the victim - and who is murderer?

A short adventure with the three madcap British expats and their French leader of mystery and murder during a festival time of the year- quite a great little book to get you in the holiday mood.

Death and Papa Noel was a fun, and surprising mystery perfect for the Holidays, as it is not too long for the busy season. Just when you think you have it figured out there is a little twist. There is humorous moments to boot. Enjoyed!

A good mix of surprise and humor.
