Murder on frosty Night by Verity Bright

 

Winter 1925 just before Christmas. Hugh and Eleanor just getting ready to celebrate their first Christmas together. Also to celebrate the launch on their detective agency. A sudden telegram, along with an advance deposit comes from the most remote village possible to find, summoning them urgently.

In dramatic fashion they arrive at Yorelow to find the man who sent the telegram murdered in the church graveyard whilst Midnight Mass was going on and a myriad of suspects available for the taking. Very steady detection work, many red herrings, lots of eccentric characters often times found in English cozies of the time all adding a sense of piquancy and unreality to the surroundings.

The stories of Lady Eleanor, Hugh Seldon and Clifford along with their entourage is humorous and engaging though the background is always murder.
