'Tis the season to solve a mystery... discover the festive crime novel that everyone is talking about, from the bestselling author of Murder at Holly House.
A case shrouded in secrets.
Yorkshire, 1953. It's nearly Christmas, and Detective Frank Grasby and his boss, Juggers, are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthley’s Bay. A fisherman has been found dead on the beach, with a stocking wound tight round his throat.
A festive mystery for one and all.
Hundreds of pairs of stockings, in neat cellophane bags, soon wash up on the shore. A blizzard cuts off Frank and Juggers from help, and the local innkeeper is murdered. Any remaining Christmas cheer goes up in smoke as the villagers refuse to talk, leaving the two detectives chasing false leads in the snow.
A winter wonderland with no escape.
To make matters worse, Frank can’t stop thinking about stockings. Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery, even beneath their oilskins? Who is the sinister man snooping around their hotel? And how can they solve the murder when everyone in the village is a suspect?
