A case shrouded in secrets.
It’s just before Christmas, 1953. Grasby and Juggers are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthley’s Bay. A fisherman has been found dead on the beach, with a stocking wound tight round his throat.

A festive mystery for one and all.
Hundreds of pairs of stockings, in neat cellophane bags, soon wash up on the shore. A blizzard cuts off Grasby and Juggers from help, and the local innkeeper is murdered. Any remaining Christmas cheer goes up in smoke as the villagers refuse to talk, leaving the two detectives chasing false leads in the snow.

A winter wonderland with no escape.
To make matters worse, Grasby can’t stop thinking about stockings. Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery, even beneath their oilskins? Who is the sinister bespectacled man snooping around their hotel? And how can they solve the murder when everyone in the village is a suspect?

Eleştirmen yorumları

'‘Wonderfully irreverent, warm and funny, with twists galore.’
Denzil Meyrick, revelling in fond and foolish nostalgia, has once again produced a tale of first-class nonsense.
Unabashed comedy…Not many new novels have me laughing aloud these days, but this one did, time and again.
Darkly comic and engaging, this is a Christmas cracker you simply won’t want to put down.
A laugh-out-loud must for the Christmas stocking for any mystery fan in your life.
Grasby and Juggers are a tremendous pairing who display Denzil Meyrick’s comic talents to the full in this immensely enjoyable Christmas caper set in a wintry Yorkshire seaside town. Scratching below the surface, there is again much to be found that reflects not only on the 1950s, but on our own time. Highly recommended.
Outlandish and unpredictable, yet anyone who knows the Yorkshire coast will find it hilarious and all too plausible.
I loved the humour and ambiance of this book. Definitely one to read over the festive holidays.
An authentic vintage crime laced with dark humour. Frank Grasby is an instant classic detective. Unmissable.
Fun, funny, gory, and great.

The Christmas Stocking Murders by Denzil Meyrick . The second one in this fantastic series and to be honest I’m getting addicted to these. A thoroughly enjoyable and fabulous take on golden age mystery writing but with the author’s tongue in cheek writing style. I’m finding the main character Insp. Frank Grasby relationships with other characters,like his father and superintendent, interesting and how these are developing. The funny Berty Wooster vibes to Frank are still as humorous as ever. Another well written and an excellent plot, I’m looking forward to the next in the series, but we have to wait till November 2025.

Fantastic festive golden age vibe mystery

2nd fantastic Frank Grasby book, please keep writing, Christmas was made so much better (if that’s possible!) snuggling up by the fire with a whisky and the wonderful voice of Tom Turner.

Just brilliant…
