Christmas in Blackheath has never been bloodier . . .

But when your eccentric mother asks you to hide a bloody knife, your estranged twin sister moves in, and your housemate is staging a chaotic pantomime starring a washed-up TV actor with a stalker . . . a quiet Christmas is off the cards.

When a string of mysterious stabbings shatters the peace on the heath, May finds herself sleuthing through a flurry of secrets involving long-lost babies, pantomime politics, and more than one case of mistaken identity. With her divorce finale looming, her love life in tatters, and her sister revealing a life–altering secret of her own, May must untangle a knot

of lies stretching back decades.

As snow falls and secrets unravel, the Morrigan women must reckon with the past—before another body drops.

Murder, mayhem and mistletoe . . . This deliciously twisty, darkly comic mystery is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and The Thursday Murder Club.
