The Christmas Clue - Nicola Upson
Christmas Eve, 1943. Anthony and Elva Pratt arrive in a snow-covered English village, ready to host a festive murder mystery game. Armed with Elva’s detailed hotel map and Anthony’s handcrafted prop weapons, they’ve planned a cheerful evening of intrigue—wartime rations and all.
But the game turns grim when Anthony stumbles upon the body of Miss Silver, the cook’s sister, brutally beaten. A real murder has shattered their carefully plotted fiction.
With the hotel manager, Mr Browning, struggling to maintain order, tensions rise. Colonel Colman threatens to requisition the hotel for the war effort, and one guest—Mrs Threadgold—has mysteriously vanished. The Pratts had prepared for one fictional victim, not a real killer among them.
Can they uncover the truth before the killer strikes again?
