About this listen

An hilarious and gripping festive whodunnit, perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Agatha Christie

It's Christmas Eve at the Merry Monarch.

Nestled amongst the Yorkshire Dales, the pub is preparing to host its annual scavenger hunt for its rabble of regulars. There's the landlord, Mickey, his wife Sofia and their wayward son, James; local policeman Alex and his supernaturally minded deputy Don; as well as Sita, Mrs Fazarkaley, the Kapoors and Curtis, who's never far from his beloved dog Barkley. Quite the crowd.

And this year, they are interrupted by a knock at the door from Maddie Marlowe, a journalist who was homeward bound to Edinburgh for Christmas - only to be stranded by car failure, and by the snow storm that's closing in on the village.

But Maddie's arrival won't be the only surprise of the night. When the power is cut off and darkness descends, the hunt turns deadly. Maddie and her unexpected Christmas companions must try to find the murderer amongst them, as it seems one of the group would kill to win . . .

Could have been so much better

This didn’t really work for me. Didn’t engage with the characters and the plot felt forced. Had hoped it was more of a ‘Christmas Cozy Crime’ but it just wasn’t.

Slow Pace

Not a bad storyline but it felt like a very long episode from Midsomer Murders. Not a particularly exciting or suspenseful read, but if you’re looking for something tamer, then this will be a good book for you. Performance of the story was good.
