Also published as A CHRISTMAS PARTY
It is no ordinary Christmas at Lexham Manor. Six holiday guests find themselves the suspects of a murder enquiry when the old Scrooge, Nathaniel Herriad, who owns the substantial estate, is found stabbed in the back. whilst the delicate matter of inheritance could be the key to this crime, the real conundrum is how any of the suspects could have entered the locked room to commit this foul deed. For Inspector Hemingway of Scotland Yard, ’tis the season to find whodunit.

Summary
A classic novel, with a mystery thrown in. Heyer does the British country house murder better than anyone, but the psychological insights in this book lift it above the genre.
