Reviews

[Louise Culmer · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this festive addition to the Auguste Didier series of murder mysteries, Auguste is persuaded to take a job as manager of Cranton's Hotel during the Christmas season, when a mixed party of guests are staying there for the Christmas holidays. Naturally, wherever Auguste goes, murder cannot be far behind, and it isn't long before Inspector Rose of Scotland Yard is obliged to take a hand in solving the latest fatality.

As usual with the Auguste Didier series there is plenty of period atmosphere, humour, and a variety of amusing characters. Great fun.
