IT'S THE MOST MURDEROUS TIME OF THE YEAR…

Puzzle compiler and former Christmas sceptic Edie O’Sullivan returns in the newest seasonal mystery from bestselling author and ‘Queen of the Christmas Mystery’ Alexandra Benedict.

When Edie O’Sullivan wins a two-day Christmas break in a hotel on a remote Scottish island, she’s looking forward to a picture-perfect Christmas filled with:

• Roaring fires
• Good books
• Even better whisky

But when a guest dies under mysterious circumstances, Edie realises that there is a killer amongst them.

As more guests begin to die, it's up to Edie to:

• Solve the strange riddles found in the victims’ Christmas crackers
• Stop the killing spree

However, as she gets closer to the truth, she puts herself in the path of a devious and clever murderer. Can Edie solve these Christmas killings before she becomes the next victim?
