Excellent- More about Solstice of Death
DI Shanti Joyce and Vincent Caine are investigating a peculiar death at Stonehenge during the midwinter solstice. The deceased is Hector Lovell-Finch, the eccentric Earl of Lovell Court and the father of Quentin Lovell-Finch, a right-wing MP. Relations between father and son have become frosty since Finch's divorce, conversion to environmentalism, and second marriage to an indigenous Brazilian environmentalist. Shanti has promised her son, Paul, a magical Christmas, and the detective duo must untangle the murder in just five days. The book is praised for its quirkiness, engrossing nature, and witty dialogue.

Amidst the swirling flurries of Salisbury Plain, the unlikely duo discover that the deceased is none other than Hector Lovell-Finch, the eccentric Earl of Lovell Court, known to all as Finch. To Shanti's chagrin, the pair have become known as the go-to team for weird stuff in the West Country, and this festive fatality is the mother and Father Christmas of odd and ritualistic crimes.
It is no secret that relations between father and son have become decidedly frosty since Finch's acrimonious divorce from Quentin's mother, his conversion to environmentalism, and second marriage to an indigenous Brazilian environmentalist half his age. Now, there is the icy issue of who will inherit the ancient Lovell-Finch Estate.
To make things more complicated, single mum Shanti has faithfully promised her son, Paul, a magical Christmas with all the trimmings. Can this most knotty of English murders be untwined in just five days? And will the unlikely detective duo celebrate the season with merriment, mindfulness, and mistletoe?
