Festive joy and goodwill to all abounds, unless you’re sworn enemies…

'At the top of the tree of modern whodunnits' - Ian Moore

As Christmas approaches, Margery and her team of dinner ladies are asked to cater for the popular Ittonvale Winter Festival. But when a storm rolls in, the festivities take a troubling turn...

Food vendor Elliot is found unconscious with a severe head injury, sprawled among toppled Christmas decorations. Rumours swirl of an argument with a rival stall owner. Could foul play be involved?

With the police unable to reach the site until the weather clears, Margery and Clementine keep a watchful eye for any suspicious behaviour. If their instincts are right, they are all trapped inside with a possible attacker.

A delightfully cosy Christmas crime novel perfect for reading in front of the fire. For fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and Richard Coles.

Once a professional chef, Hannah Hendy now serves up deliciously fun cosy crime full-time from her home in a quiet South Wales town, where she lives with her wife, their daughter, and two outrageously spoiled cats. Hannah is the author of the bestselling Dinner Lady Detectives series.
