Death Midwinter
(2024)(The seventh book in the Mrs Mortimer Mystery series)
A novel by Elizabeth Oakey
Three French Hens, two Turtledoves – and a Murdered Man.
The Cotswolds, December, 1928.
The Twelve Days of Christmas Festival is run by Basil Wisden: a good man, a hardworking man – but no more. And when Georgiana Mortimer is sent an anonymous Christmas card, she learns that there is more to his death than meets the eye. Peace & Goodwill to all men? Apparently not.
The Committee’s members have history they’d prefer was kept hush-hush, but is any of it motive for murder? As the days count down to the 25th, trees are decorated, carols are sung – and secrets are unwrapped. After all, what could be more relaxing than a glass of ginger wine, a mince pie and a couple of pertinent questions?
Ambition, lost love, rivalry, and broken promises ensure that the Christmas season loses its shine. It’s up to Mrs Mortimer to restore its lustre.
Georgiana Mortimer joins the Committee in Book 7 of the Mrs Mortimer Mystery series – with the aid of her eccentric family, curious friends and Crumpet, her boundless terrier. Set in the frosty Cotswolds, ‘Death Midwinter’ is a charming Christmas mystery.
Escape to the 1920s in this playful page turner, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
