The Snows of Weston Moor by Benedict Brown

The Snows of Weston Moor by Benedict Brown

A grand party in a snowbound mansion, a dead body beside the Christmas tree, and a master detective on the hunt for a killer.

England, 1926. Lord Edgington and his loyal assistant embark on a Christmas holiday only for a blizzard to block their path. Forced to seek shelter, they find a remote manor where a group of famous actors are celebrating the season. But the luxurious house at Weston Moor is not the sanctuary it seems. One of its inhabitants hides a dark past and, when an intruder spoils the party, the first body falls.

Past scandals, a stolen fortune, and hidden secrets come to light as the clock ticks closer to Christmas day and the body count rises. But will the incognito sleuth, his hapless grandson, and their well-fed golden retriever be able to catch the killer before it's time for Christmas dinner?

A warm and witty golden-age whodunit featuring a unique cast of characters, a cunning conclusion and plenty of Christmas cheer. The Snows of Weston Moor is a festive mix of Agatha Christie's The Sittaford Mystery and Hercule Poirot's Christmas with a dash of Downton Abbey thrown in.

This is a spoiler-free entry in the bestselling>Lord Edgington Investigates. series. It can be read as a standalone novel and does not give away any secrets from the previous books.

Brown, Benedict: - I'm a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living with my French-Spanish wife and decidedly European infant daughter in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain. Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn't a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing. I grew up in a crime fiction family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my detective Izzy Palmer. I've already released five Izzy novels and am starting on a 1920s mystery series with Lord Edgington Investigates.... If you feel like telling me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, I'd love to hear from you, so feel free to get in touch at www.benedictbrown.net
