Find the truth. Solve the murder. Never reveal your secret.

Twelve years ago, eight friends ran an exclusive group at university: The Murder Masquerade Society. The mysteries they solved may have been grisly, but they were always fictional - until their final Christmas Masquerade, when one of the group disappeared, never to be seen again.

Now, the remaining members of the group receive an invitation to a reunion masquerade, to be held in a beautiful and remote country house in Scotland. When they arrive they are each assigned a new identity themed around the Twelve Days of Christmas - they become Lady Partridge or Mr Gold; Lord Leapworth or Doctor Swan. The game begins, and it feels just like old times.

Until the next morning, when Lady Partridge is found hanging from a pear tree. Cosy Genre Fiction Holidays Mystery Traditional Detectives Fiction Detective Crime Murder Game Suspense Christmas

This started really well , but after about half way … I got a bit fed up with all the different guesses of who and why … almost to the point that I didn’t really care who did it at the end

We thoroughly enjoyed this story.
A traditional 1930s style who dunnit that is brought up to date and applied for 2023. Very well constructed that keeps you guessing to the end on who, how and why, Lots of red herrings, strong, believable characters
The story is extremely well narrated, really adds to the atmosphere and enhances the story.

Excellent Christmas whodunnit
