The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories

These four festive stories by P. D. James (1920 – 2014) are set around Christmas and planned with an attention to detail that is almost forensic, in keeping with her writing style. The high quality of her prose shines through with extraordinary clarity in a selection that includes a Christmas murder at a country house and an illicit affair. What emerges from the enforced bonhomie are the secrets that lurk beneath the surface and which have a nasty habit of coming out when families are brought together in imposed circumstances.
