Fatal Festivities: A Golden Age Christmas Cosy Mystery Novella (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950203338)

A mysterious invite, a festive party, and a murderer hiding amongst the mistletoe.

Christmas in England, 1936.

When Ruby Dove receives a cryptic invitation to Lady Charlesworth's swanky London soiree, Fina Aubrey-Havelock convinces her friend to attend. With journalist Pixley Hayford in tow, the trio is determined to have a smashing time and discover the face behind the missive. But they soon face a corpse instead.

To clear Ruby's name, they set off across the wintry English countryside in search of the miscreant. Will the snow halt the murderer in their tracks?

If you love golden age detection with a dash of history, join our fashionable Oxford sleuth-spies in a delightful mystery romp through the 1930s. Ruby and Fina wager that you'll never guess who did it.
