Plot Summary
Christmas Eve, 1943. Anthony and Elva Pratt arrive in a snowy English village to run a murder mystery game – and instead discover a real murder.
My Review
A great mystery book to read in one sitting. I found the first half of the book a little slower in pace (it was mainly focusing on setting up the story and building in the different characters/suspects).
But, by the second half the pacing had really picked up. The twists were really great and I found the 2nd half a really gripping read, not quite knowing what the next twist would be.
