The Mistletoe Murder Club

By: Marsh, Katie

Roll up, roll up... this year's Christmas show has a twist you won't see coming... murder.

When Clio - a former actress and current struggling private detective - manages to score a key role in the town's Christmas pantomime, she's secretly delighted. At last, perhaps, her talents will be recognized?

It's all going dramatically well, until their esteemed director is found murdered on the opening night. And Clio knows it's up to her to find out who the mistletoe murderer is.

She knows her best chance of capturing the culprit is to bring her best friends Amber and Jeanie into the cast. Even if the best way to sneak them in is to carefully conceal them both in a pantomime cow costume.

But before she can cry 'he's behind you', all of them will be in danger for their lives, as there's a murderer with only one thing on their mind... to bring the curtain down on the Mistletoe Murder Club. Forever.

Screamingly funny cozy crime - that fans of Richard Osman, Agatha Christie, and How to Kill Men and Get Away With It will ADORE.

Laughed my sox off!

The detectives are the most fun characters! The forty-something team is comprised of former actress Clio, friend and mother of diabolical 3 year-old twins Jeanie, ex-cop Amber, and Melissa (Amber’s newly found American relative). The place is a decrepit former theatre, the victim is the despicable elder former actress now directing the Christmas pantomime as her swan song. Good sleuthing, lots of situational humor, intricate background material on the Bad Girls, victim, complete with sneaky red herrings and a plot twist or three. Laughed my sox off! I requested and received a temporary uncorrected reader's proof from Boldwood Books via NetGalley.
