A Christmas ghost story - Chronicles of St Mary's style! For fans of Doctor Who and Jasper Fforde...and A Christmas Carol.

Where better for the annual festive jump than the chance to experience a real Victorian Christmas?

On the longest night of 1895, a terrible storm rages above Harewood Hall. Max, Markham and an injured Peterson are welcomed in by the Harewood family but quickly realise that the gathering is far from celebratory. For tonight marks the Ordeal of the Haunted Room.

Every Harewood heir must endure one terrifying night alone in the Haunted Room before he can inherit the family seat. Legend says that ghosts will murder anyone who isn't the true heir.

Francis Harewood's ordeal will begin at midnight and end at dawn, but it isn't long before everything goes horribly wrong....

It reminded me of a cross between a Charles Dickens story and an Agatha Christie Murder Mystery. I liked the ending.

Listen or read The Battersea barricades to totally understand the ending. I listened to it after I finished this short story.

A tip to understand the ending.

Brilliant as always and some lovely nods to previous stories.

Some lines that had me crying with laughter, especially the lap one...

Jodi as good as ever thankfully, a shining light in 2020. And Zara Ramm is always spectacular.
