well, this cozy mystery was exactly what I needed for the month of December!
This is a wonderful addition to Nicola Upson's great Josephine Tey series. And I really loved that Marlene Dietrich makes an appearance!
Also, great narration by Helen Lloyd!
Summary:
A snowy Christmas gathering on an island off the Cornish coast goes murderously wrong in this festive Golden-Age mystery.
December 1938, and storm clouds hover once again over Europe. Josephine Tey and Archie Penrose gather with friends for a Cornish Christmas, but two strange and brutal deaths on St. Michael’s Mount - and the unexpected arrival of a world famous film star, in need of sanctuary - interrupt the festivities. Cut off by the sea and a relentless blizzard, the hunt for a murderer begins.
Pivoting on a real moment in history, the ninth novel in the Josephine Tey series draws on all the much-loved conventions of the Golden-Age Christmas mystery, while giving them the contemporary twist that has come to distinguish the books so far.
