I really enjoyed this straightforward light and humorous mystery set at Christmas. Great characterisation and witty writing and a sastifying ending. My first Georgette Heyer and I will definitely read her other mysteries.

Good locked room mystery. A collection of most unlikable characters, but made a good read.
