'A cracking read. The perfect Christmas gift for crime fans' C. L. Taylor, author of The Lie

'A quirky, cleverly plotted crime story' Sunday Mirror

'Dark and satisfying, it is a fine antidote to Christmas cheer' Daily Mail

**********************************
It looks like a regular advent calendar.

Until DC Becky Greene starts opening doors . . . and discovers a crime scene behind almost every one.

The police hope it's a prank. Because if it isn't, a murderer has just surfaced - someone who's been killing for twenty years.

But why now? And why has he sent it to this police station?

As the country relaxes into festive cheer, Greene and DS Eddie Carmine must race against time to catch the killer. Because there are four doors left, and four murders will fill them . . .

It's shaping up to be a deadly little Christmas.

*******************

Goodreads reviewers are raving about this gripping festive thriller!

'A deeply twisted, festive murder, thriller, mystery with a good psychological twist to it.'

'Christmas books are normally romances so I enjoyed The Deaths of December for the anti Christmas twist.'

'The perfect festive read for those who like to be curled up in front of the fire with the lights down low ready to be thrilled and chilled in equal measure'
