Synopsis: [From the back cover:] Christmas Eve, 1923 There is a mystery at the heart of each of us which smoulders on... Prepare for the tales of unexplained murders, long-concealed mysteries, strange visitors in the night, and a secret in Posie's own past which haunts her to this very day... Join Posie Parker, London's premier female Private Detective, and Chief Inspector Lovelace of New Scotland Yard as they spend a snowy holiday season at Rebbburn Abbey, home of the Earl and Countess of Cardigeon. As Christmas Eve draws to a close, each house guest is invited to share a personal mystery, but what unfolds turns out to be less a cozy cornucopia of fire-side Christmas cheer than a series of curiously interlinked and unsettling mysteries. But then, who promised that any of the tales had to be cozy? And could it be, even at Rebburn Abbey on Christmas Eve, that the past can overshadow the present, casting dangerous shadows on those who don't suspect? Does danger and the presence of evil lurk here? A Christmas Case is full of intrigue and red herrings. This is a classic mystery novella which will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey alike.
