Audie Award Finalist, Solo Narration--Female, 2013
She may be 35th in line for the throne, but Lady Georgiana Rannoch
cannot wait to ring in the new year--before a Christmas killer wrings
another neck...
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me--well, actually,
my true love, Darcy O'Mara, is spending a feliz navidad tramping around
South America. Meanwhile, Mummy is holed up in a tiny village called
Tiddleton-under-Lovey with that droll Noel Coward! And I'm snowed in at
Castle Rannoch with my bumbling brother, Binky, and sourpuss
sister-in-law, Fig. So it's a miracle when I contrive to land a position
as hostess to a posh holiday party in Tiddleton. The village is like
something out of A Christmas Carol! But no sooner have I arrived than a
neighborhood nuisance, a fellow named Freddie falls out of a tree,
dead.... Dickensian, indeed.
Freddie's merely a stocking stuffer. On my second day in town, another
so-called accident turns up another mincemeat pie--and yet another on my
third. The village is buzzing that a recent prison break could have
something to do with it...that, or a long-standing witch's curse. I'm
not so sure. But after Darcy shows up beneath the mistletoe, anything
could be possible in this wicked wonderland.
