Summary
Twelve clues.
Twelve keys.
Twelve days of Christmas.
But who will survive until Twelfth Night?
Lily Armitage never intended to return to Endgame House - the grand family home where her mother died twenty-one Christmases ago. Until she receives a letter from her aunt, asking her to return to take part in an annual tradition: the Christmas Game. The challenge? Solve twelve clues, to find twelve keys. The prize? The deeds to the manor house.
Lily has no desire to win the house. But her aunt makes one more promise: The clues will also reveal who really killed Lily's mother all those years ago.
So, for the twelve days of Christmas, Lily must stay at Endgame House with her estranged cousins and unravel the riddles that hold the key not just to the family home, but to its darkest secrets. However, it soon becomes clear that her cousins all have their own reasons for wanting to win the house - and not all of them are playing fair.
As a snowstorm cuts them off from the village, the game turns deadly. Soon Lily realises that she is no longer fighting for an inheritance, but for her life.
This Christmas is to die for . . . Let the game begin
The perfect gift for fans of Agatha Christie and classic crime this Christmas.

An ode to the Golden Age
Alexandra Benedict is a clear fan of the golden age. The story pulls you along confidently and with the certainty that you’ve listened carefully and followed the clues set out before you.

Oh for a hard copy and red pen!
Oh for a hard copy and red pen! Very flowery with far too many descriptions leaving the listener with the thought they are assumed to have no imagination. Definitely in the cozy murder genre.

Listen Immediately!!!
Totally loved it. SPOILER ALERT!!! It is obvious from quite early on who one murder is. But all the loose ends throughout the story, that tie up the entire package, lead you on some very intriguing and twisty pathways. Story is really well told, with a very clever modern twist on many a told country house mystery. Loved it!
