Description
The British LibraryAn evocative, seasonal mystery from the ‘golden age’ of British crime writing.Republished texts, reflecting attitudes of the time.
In a charitable moment to regret Frank and Rhoda Redpath invite their wealthy ‘Uncle’ Willie to stay with them for Christmas. With the Second World War making Willie’s usual trip to Italy impossible, the Redpaths find they have a less than congenial Christmas spirit in their midst. With the wider family also gathering for their Christmas party Uncle Willie dons a Father Christmas costume to pass out the gifts. Having demolished mince pies and a stash of hidden chocolates, Uncle Willie’s body is discovered on Boxing Day, with someone having poisoned him and the season of goodwill. A perplexing case, can Superintendent Culley and Major Smythe untangle a host of distant relatives, old flames and save Christmas? Originally published in 1944, a light-hearted murder mystery romp, full of twists, red herrings and eccentric characters. Written by Rupert Latimer, the pseudonym of stage actor-turned-novelist Algernon Victor Mills (1905–1953).
