   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  KateBaxter | Dec 31, 2023 |   Mystery of Mistletoe Hall is now my favorite all-time holiday book. Set in the 1920s, narrated by a seventeen-year-old boy, it is a fresh, fun, atmospheric, joy ride. A group of guests are invited to a holiday weekend at the manor of a retired detective, only to find that his servants were dismissed, and he was murdered. The guests are now snowed in with phone lines cut to await what the killer has in store for them next. The young man and his grandfather, also a retired detective, hope to reveal the killer before the body count piles up. Stoke up the fire, get your hot toddy, and get cozy with this treat!

Eight strangers are trapped in a deserted manor house as the snow falls, the body count rises and the Christmas tree still needs decorating. England, 1925. When Lord Edgington receives an invitation to spend the Christmas holiday with an old colleague from the police, he expects fine food, good conversation and the warmth of a roaring fire. But on arriving at Mistletoe Hall with his family, they discover the house deserted and no explanation for where their host or his servants could be. As more guests appear, the master detective begins to question what could connect the disparate group of newcomers. A teacher, a comedian, a thief, a sportsman, a singer, a policeman and a racing driver will all have their roles to play when a killer crashes the party. Cut off from the outside world by the worsening weather, and with bodies piling up, Lord Edgington must rely on his wits, his years of experience, and the help of his bumbling grandson Christopher in order to solve The Mystery of Mistletoe Hall. With hints of "And Then There Were None" and "The Sittaford Mystery", the fourth Lord Edgington Investigates� novel is a spoiler-free, standalone whodunit with a wicked resolution all of its own. Filled with warmth, humour, a fiendishly twisting plot, an adorable canine sidekick and plenty of Yuletide spirit, "The Mystery of Mistletoe Hall" is an Agatha-Christie-style Christmas cracker that will baffle and charm you in equal measure. Narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings and Versailles and the Oscar-winning film Les Miserabl Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

What a fun and at times rather amusing story. It's a closed mansion mystery with everyone snowed in at Mistletoe Hall. The writing is solid and the settings are well described. There are quite a few red herrings as every guest seems to be a possible culprit. The relationship between Lord Edgington and his grandson, Chrissy, is at time tender but also instructive. Although this is part of the Lord Edgington Investigates mystery series, the book easily stands on its own. My curiosity is piqued and I'll be digging into the earlier installments of this series. If holiday cozies are your jam, you'll definitely want to add this to your Christmas list.
