Christmas - the fun and festive murder mystery that you won't be able to put down. 'A
laugh-out-loud must for the Christmas stocking' Irish Independent 'Warm and funny with twists
galore.' Stuart MacBride 'Had me laughing aloud time and again' Yorkshire Life A festive
mystery. Yorkshire 1953. It's nearly Christmas and Detective Frank Grasby is 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 winter wonderland with no escape.
Hundreds of pairs of stockings in neat cellophane bags soon wash up on the shore. Any
remaining Christmas cheer goes up in smoke when the local innkeeper is murdered and the
detective is left chasing false leads in the snow. A race to save Christmas. 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? And how can he solve the
murder when everyone in the village is a suspect? Readers love The Christmas Stocking Murders
