About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A village of secrets
It's December 1952, and a dead stranger has been found lodged up the chimney of Holly House in the remote town of Elderby. Is he a simple thief, or a would-be killer? Either way, he wasn't on anyone's Christmas wish list.
A mystery that can't be solved
Inspector Frank Grasby is ordered to investigate. The victim of some unfortunate misunderstandings, he hopes this case will help clear his name. But as is often the way for Grasby, things most certainly don't go according to plan.
A Christmas to remember
Soon blizzards hit the North York Moors, cutting off the village from help, and the local doctor's husband is found murdered. Grasby begins to realise that everyone in Elderby is hiding something - and if he can't uncover the truth soon, the whole country will pay a dreadful price...

Say I
A worthwhile listen but failed to really captivate me. Well written for a first person narrative but a few too many Say I’s started to grate on me. Predictable story line.

Not his best work says I
I found the over use of “says I” painful. I’m not interested enough to purchase follow up stories of this character. I will always buy follow up stories featuring DCI DALEY.

Looking forward to next one!
I was dreading that this would be a standalone novel. So pleased it isn’t. Great story and wonderful characters!
