A Standalone 1920s Christmas Mystery
BENEDICT BROWN
Review by Author Roy
Murry
When the
ex-superintendent of the London police invites you to his mansion, Mistletoe
Hall, for a Christmas event, you go. Lord Edgington receives the letter invite,
collects family and staff, and proceeds to the weekend festivities.
When they arrive at the mansion, no one is in the building. Edgington, an ex-detective, and his grandson Christopher reconnoiter the large property looking for life. They find the master of Mistletoe Hall frozen, hung, shot, and dead.
While the Lord and Christopher are investigating, others arrive with invites in hand. The two investigators stay hush-hush about what they find, and a party member goes to fetch the police in heavy snow.
Their skills, mainly the Lord's, are used to look for the killer among the guests, which will be interesting for the reader to untangle as the story progresses. The twists and turns, including other murders, will keep the reader turning the page.
Lord Edgington and Christopher are the main characters that propel the story forward and are the series' fun tit-for-tat linchpin.
