The Christmas Crimes at Puzzel Manor

With ten pages to go, I couldn't help but feel at least partially responsible for the surprising outcome, due to my utter and complete lack of facility solving puzzles of any kind, let alone the ones used to drive the plot of The Christmas Crimes. Imagine my relief eight pages later when the guilt of my ineptitude was relieved! No more plot from me, for I don't want to spoil a delicious double-twist.

Thoroughly engaging, witty and well developed, this work may not fill you with Christmas cheer, but [author:Simon Brett] presents a tidy little mystery, wrapped up nicely - if you'll pardon the pun - in a speedy and satisfying manner.
