Beschreibung
Snowy mountains, a picture-perfect Christmas village and... Wait! Who's that dead among the pine trees?

Hired to protect a mysterious client on a festive family holiday in the Scottish Highlands, private detective Izzy Palmer poses as a nanny to investigate a string of threatening letters. To solve the case she'll have to deal with a pack of feuding aristocrats and uncover the truth about a decades' old rivalry, all while caring for a distractingly adorable baby girl. It's enough to make even the most dogged detective despair.

When the exclusive winter resort is snowed in, tempers flare and a fake Father Christmas turns up dead in the snow. With a lord, an admiral, a professor and a celebrated artist among the suspects, Izzy will need the help of her eccentric sidekick (turned undercover chef) and a makeshift princess to find the killer and stop her white Christmas turning red...

"A Corpse for Christmas" is a classic, Agatha-Christie-style murder mystery with humour, intrigue and a little bit of 'Home Alone' thrown in for good measure. As a standalone novel in the Izzy Palmer Mystery series, you don't need to have read any of the previous books to enjoy this delicious but hilariously deadly Christmas tale. If you love whodunits featuring outrageous characters, Machiavellian suspects, baked goods, warring relatives and genuine, Christmassy warmth, then this is the book for you.

Über den Autor
I'm a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living with my French-Spanish wife and decidedly European infant daughter in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain.

Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn't a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing.

I grew up in a crime fiction family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my detective Izzy Palmer. I've already released five Izzy novels and am starting on a 1920s mystery series with "Lord Edgington Investigates...".

If you feel like telling me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, I'd love to hear from you, so feel free to get in touch at [...]
