The Deaths of December Summary

The Deaths of December: A cracking Christmas crime thriller by Susi Holliday

'A cracking read. The perfect Christmas gift for crime fans' C. L. Taylor, author of The Lie

'A quirky, cleverly plotted crime story' Sunday Mirror

'A festive cracker of a crime novel' Cass Green, author of In a Cottage in a Wood

'Dark and satisfying, it is a fine antidote to Christmas cheer' Daily Mail


**********************************

It looks like a regular advent calendar.

Until DC Becky Greene starts opening doors . . . and discovers a crime scene behind almost every one.

The police hope it's a prank. Because if it isn't, a murderer has just surfaced - someone who's been killing for twenty years.

But why now? And why has he sent it to this police station?

As the country relaxes into festive cheer, Greene and DS Eddie Carmine must race against time to catch the killer. Because there are four doors left, and four murders will fill them . . .

It's shaping up to be a deadly little Christmas.

A fun, festive twisted tale that's detonated by a killer midpoint twist I did not see coming. Wrap yourself in a duvet, grab a glass of eggnog and ask: should I answer the door? This book sleighed it. Adds a whole new meaning to Happy Hollidays. -- Angela Clarke, author of Follow Me
