Yorkshire, 1953. It's nearly Christmas, and Detective Frank Grasby and his boss, Juggers, are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthley’s Bay. A fisherman has been found dead on the beach, with a stocking wound tight round his throat. A winter wonderland with no escape.

Hundreds of pairs of stockings, in neat cellophane bags, soon wash up on the shore. Any remaining Christmas cheer goes up in smoke when the local innkeeper is murdered, and the two detectives are left chasing false leads in the snow. A race to save Christmas. To make matters worse, Frank can’t stop thinking about stockings.

Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery, even beneath their oilskins? And how can they solve the murder when everyone in the village is a suspect?Readers love The Christmas Stocking Murders:‘Atmospheric, amusing, a book to read by a fireside.’ *****‘This book is a delight.’ *****‘I found myself chuckling along.’ *****‘A wonderful page-turner.’ *****‘These books are a tonic.’ *****‘A Christmas joy *****
