It's beginning to look a lot like murder… Christmas is cancelled. After spending the last two unmasking killers, Anna has officially banned all things festive. No turkey, no tinsel, no forced merriment of any kind. Just one tiny thing first: she must survive a weekend volunteering at her daughter's school ‘Seasonal Community Gathering’. And woe betide anyone who calls it a Christmas Fair.But when Anna and her best mate Jennie discover one of the committee dead, suddenly keeping the tombola gluten free is the least of their worries.The police are calling it an accident. Anna is calling it suspicious. Off-brand bunting, a locked office and far too many people with grudges mean that things just don’t add up. So Anna and Jennie set out to catch the culprit, only to end up knee-deep in mince pies, tea urns and PTA politics, untangling a web of petty vendettas that would make Santa hand in his notice…🎄Praise for Jo Middleton🎄'Had me in fits of laughter, tears streaming down my face!' ★★★★★'Will be going in everyone's stockings this Christmas!'★★★★★'Engaging and quirky in the very best way' ★★★★★'A must read for Winter 2024!' ★★★★★'I was absorbed from the very first page' ★★★★★'I have never laughed so much while reading a book!' ★★★★★'So fresh, exciting, funny and intelligent!' ★★★★★'Kept me guessing until the end!' ★★★★★'An absolute riotous Christmas cracker!' ★★★★★'Motherland meets Agatha Christie….The funniest book I have read this year!' ★★★★★'I would 100% recommend this book!' ★★★★★ AUTHORS LOVE HAPPY BLOODY CHRISTMAS!

It's beginning to look a lot like murder… Christmas is cancelled. After spending the last two unmasking killers, Anna has officially banned all things festive. No turkey, no tinsel, no forced merriment of any kind. Just one tiny thing first: she must survive a weekend volunteering at her daughter's school ‘Seasonal Community Gathering’. And woe betide anyone who calls it a Christmas Fair.But when Anna and her best mate Jennie discover one of the committee dead, suddenly keeping the tombola gluten free is the least of their worries.The police are calling it an accident. Anna is calling it suspicious. Off-brand bunting, a locked office and far too many people with grudges mean that things just don’t add up. So Anna and Jennie set out to catch the culprit, only to end up knee-deep in mince pies, tea urns and PTA politics, untangling a web of petty vendettas that would make Santa hand in his notice…🎄Praise for Jo Middleton🎄'Had me in fits of laughter, tears streaming down my face!' ★★★★★'Will be going in everyone's stockings this Christmas!'★★★★★'Engaging and quirky in the very best way' ★★★★★'A must read for Winter 2024!' ★★★★★'I was absorbed from the very first page' ★★★★★'I have never laughed so much while reading a book!' ★★★★★'So fresh, exciting, funny and intelligent!' ★★★★★'Kept me guessing until the end!' ★★★★★'An absolute riotous Christmas cracker!' ★★★★★'Motherland meets Agatha Christie….The funniest book I have read this year!' ★★★★★'I would 100% recommend this book!' ★★★★★ AUTHORS LOVE HAPPY BLOODY CHRISTMAS!
