A CHARMING THIEF INVESTIGATES MURDER IN LONDON DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON – PERFECT FOR FANS OF LUPIN AND THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB BY RICHARD OSMAN.

FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF
SAFE HOUSE.

It’s beginning to steal a lot like Christmas …

Charlie Howard –– mystery writer and professional thief –– is in London for the holidays when his agent, Victoria, asks him to break into a jewellery shop to steal the perfect Christmas gift. Charlie’s happy to oblige –– after all, Santa shouldn’t be the only one breaking and entering on Christmas Eve –– but events soon escalate in this fun and festive caper filled with murder, mayhem and yuletide cheer.

Murder She Wrote meets Lupin in The Good Thief's Guide to Christmas, a long short story that is the perfect Christmas treat for fans and newcomers to Chris Ewan’s highly acclaimed cozy mystery Good Thief’s Guide series – for fans of The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, Anthony Horowitz or M.C. Beaton's Agatha Christie.

This ebook also features sample chapters from The Interview, Chris’s hit thriller (writing as C.M. Ewan) published by Pan Macmillan.
