About this audiobook
Uncle Willie has come to stay with the Redpaths for the holidays. It is just their luck for him to be found dead the morning after Christmas day, dressed in his Santa Claus costume, seemingly poisoned by his favourite chocolates. Or was there something sinister in the mince pies? If so, was it the ones stashed in his room or those sent to him mysteriously by post? More importantly, since his will was recently redrafted, who stands to gain by this unseasonable crime? First published in 1944, Murder After Christmas is a lively riot of murder, mince pies and misdirection, cleverly playing with beloved murder mystery tropes to create something pacey, light-hearted, and admirably suited for the holiday season.

DNF at 18%. I gave this a second try, but the writing was so arch I couldn't bear it - nearly 20% in and no murder, although I don't fancy Uncle Willie's chances of surviving to the New Year since so many relatives appear to actively wishing/plotting his death. Normally I love a Golden Age detective story, I even love parodies but this ... not so much. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
