Description
At a Christmas house party hosted by the Herriard family, long-standing resentments and clashing personalities make for a deeply uncomfortable celebration—until the household’s bad-tempered patriarch is found dead behind a locked door. With suspicion falling across a gathering of fractious relatives and uneasy guests, an ingenious investigation begins to uncover motives concealed beneath the season’s forced good cheer. Blending classic locked-room mystery with sharp social observation and dryly comic characterizations, the novel showcases its author’s talent for witty dialogue, intricate plotting, and memorable family tensions.
