Mistletoe and Murder by Robin Stevens
It's Christmas, and the snow is falling in Cambridge, where the detective duo Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are spending the festive period. But Hazel's hopes of relaxing amongst the beautiful spires, cosy libraries and inviting tea-rooms are dashed by the danger lurking in the dark stairwells of Maudlin College. Two days before Christmas, there is a terrible accident. At least, it appears to be an accident - until the Detective Society look a little closer, and realise a murder has taken place . This is an exciting murder mystery and an excellent holiday read. Robin has beautifully evoked the atmosphere of a traditional English Christmas and the story intertwines food, festivities and other seasonal elements with more sinister events. It’s a real page turner which poses many questions and adds lots of twists and turns to the plot – why does Amanda always have so much work to do? What is the significance of the fishing wire? Why does climbing play such an important part in the story? From the discovery of the first body events moved quickly and several times we were surprised by unexpected twists and revelations. May the Detective Society live forever.
