The brand-new, festive murder mystery for 2023 from modern rival to Agatha Christie, Ada Moncrieff! It's Christmas 1936, and an eclectic list of guests and staff have gathered for the grand reopening of Maybridge Castle, a newly renovated yet still crumbling hotel deep in the Cumbrian countryside. Among them are a doctor and his new wife, tarot readers, a journalist, an elderly amateur sleuth, and her cat. By the time the first sherries have been drunk, a person will be dead. An innocent game of murder-in-the-dark turns into a real game of life and death. Someone has changed the rules...but who?

____________________________________

Readers love Ada Moncrieff! An absolute delight of a book! Compelling and engaging Christmas historical crime! Her prose reminds me of the brilliant PG Wodehouse! A cosy mystery with the added charm of a Christmas setting. What more could a reader want? Beautifully written, funny, and gripping. Can't wait to see what Moncrieff comes up with next. The ending reminded me of Poirot getting all his suspects together in one room and finally revealing the murderer. Loved it! I absolutely loved this! A fantastic, fun Christmas read full of mystery and intrigue. The writing is fantastically well done. Highly recommend!
