A Christmas murder behind the snowbound village’s silence

Set in 1953, the mystery brings Inspector Frank Grasby and Superintendent Arthur Juggers to Uthley Bay, where a fisherman is found dead with a stocking around his throat. A blizzard cuts off the remote village, and residents’ reluctance to speak sends the investigation through false leads. The holiday setting is sharpened by an unusual detail: Grasby’s attention to the villagers’ conspicuously fine hosiery, alongside questions about a bespectacled stranger at the hotel. The setup combines a closed-circle investigation with seasonal clues and a small community whose secrets complicate the search for a culprit.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy traditional detective mysteries and murder investigations.
  • Readers interested in Christmas-set crime fiction and isolated village settings.
  • Readers who like mysteries featuring recurring investigators, including Inspector Frank Grasby and Superintendent Arthur Juggers.

Book overview

Another holiday mystery from the author of Murder at Holly House

A case shrouded in secrets.

Christmas, 1953. Inspector Frank Grasby and Superintendent Arthur Juggers are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthley Bay--a fisherman has been found dead on the beach, a stocking twisted around his throat.

A festive mystery for one and all.

Any remaining holiday cheer vanishes when a blizzard isolates the village from the rest of the country. The villagers refuse to talk, leaving Grasby and Juggers chasing false leads in the snow.

A winter wonderland with no escape.

To make matters worse, Grasby can't stop thinking about stockings. Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery? Who is the sinister bespectacled man snooping around the hotel?

And how can you solve a murder when everyone is a suspect?
