Benedict Brown The Alpine Christmas Mystery

A picture-perfect snowbound hotel, a crime that won't stay buried, and a killer with no interest in a white Christmas. Switzerland, 1929. When super sleuth Lord Edgington and his grandson Christopher head to a grand hotel in the Swiss Alps, they hope for roaring fires, wintry walks and plenty of Christmas cheer. What they couldn't have imagined was a hotel full of ex-criminals and whispers of a famous jewel thief. After Christopher comes a whisker away from death and a guest is found murdered on the mountain, the master detectives must solve the long-buried mystery of a princess's stolen tiara if they are to catch the killer. With a cast of conniving suspects to choose from, the body count rises, the snow falls, and the duo must race to stop the killings before Christmas day comes. A fun, funny, and ever-so festive 1920s whodunit in the style of Agatha Christie. "The Alpine Christmas Mystery" is a standalone novel in the bestselling Lord Edgington Investigates Abroad series, featuring historic real-life locations, a slightly sleepy golden retriever and enough twists, surprises and Christmas spirit to see you through the season.
