By Marty Wingate
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Simply joyful.’ Kandi A. H.
Unwrap a deliciously cozy Christmas mystery — set in a picture-perfect English country house. From a USA Today bestselling author!
Please note this is a brilliant novella, not a full-length story.
Meet Prunella ‘Pru’ Parke, an American gardener who digs up murder and mystery wherever she goes.
This Christmas, Pru is determined to serve up the ultimate English feast for two — with not a soggy sprout in sight! She fires up her Aga in her gorgeous country kitchen, hoping to cook up some festive magic for her husband.
Then she meets a mysterious stranger who upsets all her plans.
Alf, a smooth-talking young plant vendor, has a stall at the village Christmas market. His winter blooms are too good to be true. And there’s something strangely familiar about him . . .
Every time Pru feels she’s close to puzzling him out, he makes his excuses and disappears into the foggy December night. But Pru doesn’t give up easily.
Can Pru work out what he’s up to — while she grapples with a turkey big enough to feed the whole village?
Each new door on the advent calendar marks one less day to track Alf down.
If you love Rosie Sandler, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Agatha Christie, The Thursday Murder Club, Kate Carlisle, Simon Brett or Tonya Kappes, prepare to be hooked by this enchanting character-driven mystery!
