Murder At Holly House

Denzil Meyrick Bantam £16.99

Christmas 1952, and there are strange goings-on in the remote Yorkshire village of Elderby. Inspector Frank Grasby is sent to investigate. He’s a wonderful mix of clever and hapless, easily distracted by the glamorous American Daisy Dean, an unlikely intern with the local constabulary. But as the body count mounts, even Grasby realises he’s arrived in the midst of an elaborate and deadly conspiracy. A fine, intricately plotted, seasonal mystery, shot through with black humour.
