Don't miss the Waterstones Scottish Book of the Month that everyone is talking about this
Christmas - the fun and festive murder mystery from the No.1 New York Times bestselling author.
'Twists galore' Stuart MacBride 'Had me laughing out loud' Yorkshire Life 'First-class' The
Times A case shrouded in secrets. It's just before Christmas 1953. Grasby and 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 Grasby 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 Grasby 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
bespectacled man snooping around their hotel? And how can they solve the murder when everyone
in the village is a suspect? Readers love The Christmas Stocking Murders : 'Atmospheric
