The Santa Klaus Murder - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

Aunt Mildred declared that no good could come of the Melbury family Christmas gatherings at their country residence, Flaxmere. So when Sir Osmond Melbury, the family patriarch, is discovered on Christmas Day - by a guest dressed as Santa Klaus - with a bullet in his head, the festivities are plunged into chaos. Nearly every member of the party stands to reap some sort of benefit from Sir Osmond's death; but Santa Klaus, the one person who seems to have had every opportunity to fire the shot, has no apparent motive. The Chief Constable of Haulmshire, who begins his investigations by saying that he knows the family too well, wishes before long that he understood them better. And in the midst of mistrust, suspicion and hatred, it emerges that there was not one Santa Klaus, but two.
