Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

'Tis the season for murder, in this locked-room holiday mystery. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Robert Thorogood and Rev Richard Coles.

Welcome to Mistletoe Manor Hotel. Four days before Christmas, twelve stranded strangers gather round a crackling fire…


They are sheltering from the storm raging outside. But their relief is short-lived: as the snow deepens, the tree-lined avenue winding through the hotel’s parkland becomes impassable. Their isolation is complete.

The next morning, a body is found in one of the luxurious four-poster beds.

As twelve strangers become eleven suspects, who among them has checked in with murder in mind?

And will any of them live to see another Christmas…?

This festive locked-room mystery is perfect for fans of cosy whodunits, Agatha Christie and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett.

'Murder in a snowed-in country hotel - and a killer with a grudge against the season of goodwill. What could be better?' Faith Martin

'A festive mystery to read by the fire with a glass of mulled wine... brilliantly inventive... will keep you turning the pages well into the night. Loved it.' Catherine Cooper

Personally, they just wasn’t enough going on to make me super excited about coming back, I did finish as it is a Book Club 📕 choice this month and it was an easy read however I did find it relatively predictable. Great narration though.

I love a Christmas murder mystery and really enjoyed this, I was an easy listen and great story, I didn’t find it too predictable which is frequently the case with a lot of books in this genre.
Credit is definitely due to the narrator who ensured each character was easily distinguished but not overly forced

Engaging and Wonderfully narrated

Fantastic festive story, beautifully narrated. You felt like you were a guest in the hotel observing it all play out. Twists and turns - highly recommended.

If you like murder mysteries with humour and a BRILLIANT narrator aka Joe Jameson check out Murder at Worlds End. Joe Jameson really makes Audiobooks come alive!

This story was ok although I did suss the murderer quite early on but continued to listen purely for the great narrator.

The narrator @JoeJameson is BRILLIANT!
