Hope it arrives safely - and enjoy !

Received from First Sentences Virtual Bookbox choice

Received from my Secret Santa, along with lots of goodies! Thank you so much

A quirky easy read between Christmas and New Year, set in a snowy North Yorkshire, the classic tale of a bunch of stranger stuck in a manor house and next morning someone is dead.
First published in 1947, it had a oldyworldy charme to it , a few stereotypes of course but overall it was well written and I enjoyed it

Set aside for cassandra2020

Congratulations on finding a Bookcrossing book and Happy Reading!!!

Picked up at the first post-covid Old Gang Meetup. Love Golden Age Crime and also love a Christmas Mystery. This one is going to be wrapped up and hidden away until December to be opened and read when I've forgotten about it :-) Thanks again to Kinedi for bringing this along for me

Thank you

Another Little Christmas Murder by Lorna Nicholl Morgan - ok

The next of my own bookish advent calendar(*) this one is vintage/golden age crime. Written in 1947 the funniest thing about it, for me, was the amount of smoking. Whilst I'm old enough to remember smoking being an everyday part of life, this was just ubiquitous.

Anyway, the story...Dylis Hughes is a travelling saleswoman currently driving through Yorkshire in the run up to Christmas. The snow gets heavier and her car finally gives up the ghost and skids off the road into a ditch in the middle of nowhere. While she's trying to decide which way to walk in search of help, another car appears and offers help. This is Inigo Brown, on his way to his uncle's country house for Christmas.

They arrive at the house to find an odd situation. His aunt is not what they expected, his uncle is extremely ill in bed and not to be disturbed, there are all sorts of random people also stranded and some very strange servants.

The uncle dies overnight and whilst folk are surprised, it wasn't totally unexpected and everyone accepts their loss....but Dylis suspects otherwise and is determined to investigate.

There was a lot going on in this book and while there was always an underlying feeling about 'whodonit' the why's and wherefore's did not become clear until the end. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure there were enough clues to actually work it out as the reader. Nonetheless, very readable.

(*) every year I collect interesting looking Christmas themed books, wrap them up and then pick them at random during December. I never know what I'm going to get and I have some sweet treats wrapped for non-book days. Works for me!
