Christmas is Murder

This book is already proving a hit, with its beautiful, grimly festive cover, the fact that it’s the perfect dip-in-able read over Christmas, and the bonus of an extra book this year from the Queen of Crime, Val McDermid.

There’s a delicious new Christmassy Sherlock Holmes story, and a collection of twisty tales that Val has been treating us to over the years. It’d make a marvellous gift for the crime fan in your life – or a treat for yourself!
