Inspector Frank Grasby returns in a dazzling Christmas Golden Age murder mystery, set at a wedding in 1950s Yorkshire. Perfect for fans of Tom Hindle and Alexandra Benedict.

Inspector Frank Grasby returns in a gripping new murder mystery, from the bestselling author of Murder at Holly House.

As the snow falls, the hunt for a killer begins...

Frank Grasby’s father, the Reverend Cyril Grasby, is getting married at Rowntree Hall on Christmas Day 1954. And to make matters worse – Frank is best man.

The guests include important clergymen, and Inspector Arthur Juggers, Frank’s boss. As they gather at Rowntree Hall, the snow begins to fall, cutting them off from the outside world. But shortly after the knot is tied, Dean Welling is found dead, poisoned by mistletoe. In his hand is a crumpled piece of paper – on which is written only the letter ‘G’.

Juggers and Grasby investigate, but things quickly take an even darker turn: a scream rings out late on Christmas Eve, and the body of Reverend Danbury Hollis is discovered in the chapel.

Frank must save the day at his own father’s wedding, but how can he tell who is guilty when every suspect is a vicar? And where can he turn for help, when even the clergy can’t be trusted?

Another hilarious outing for DI Grasby in the series. Love the post-war setting… It was great to spend time once again with Frank Grasby and Juggers.

Denzil’s talent is unquestionable, but his versatility is underrated. One of the greats.
