By Ella Strike
A Kitty Goring Investigates Holiday Mystery
December 1923, London
Kitty Goring isn’t in the mood for tinsel or trifle. But when her mother insists she attend Lady Penelope Ponsonby’s legendary Christmas masquerade at Frostbrook House, Kitty dons her peacock mask, her emerald velvet gown, and prepares for a night of brittle small talk and bottomless champagne.
What she didn’t prepare for was murder.
As snow drifts settle over the grand estate and champagne glasses clink beneath chandeliers, Lady Penelope unveils a scandalous parlour game: The Twelve Lies of Christmas.
But when one guest is found dead beside the punch bowl, the game turns deadly. And the lies begin to snowball.Trapped in a house full of high society’s most cunning socialites, rivals, and a few too many “coincidental” strangers, Kitty must race to uncover which lie was worth killing for…before the killer strikes again. With her loyal Scottie dog by her side, an increasingly irate Detective Inspector Henry Burton underfoot, and mistletoe concealing more secrets than kisses, Kitty must solve the case before the twelve lies turn into twelve corpses.
The Twelve Lies Of Christmas is the delightful fourth book in the Kitty Goring Investigates historical cozy mystery series; perfect for fans of Magda Alexander, Verity Bright and Kelly Mason.
Author’s note:
London in the 1920s is a glamorous and exciting city, but danger and death are never too far behind. Join Kitty Goring and her group of Bright Young Things in the adventure of a lifetime, as they race to catch a killer who lurks amongst them.
Each book in this series is a cozy period mystery that features our plucky heroine, aided in her investigations by her scrappy little dog, Scottie, and a group of eccentric and lovable characters.
