Christmas Is Murder [LARGE PRINT]: A Rex Graves Mystery

LARGE PRINT EDITION * "A must for cozy fans." ~Booklist (American Library Association) starred review Not even a blizzard can keep Rex Graves away from Swanmere Manor, an historic hotel on the rolling Sussex Downs. But instead of Christmas cheer, the Scottish barrister finds a dead guest. Was it a stroke that killed old Mr. Lawdry? Or an almond tart laced with poison? When more guests die, all hopes for a merry holiday are dashed. On top of all, the remote mansion is snowbound; confined with a killer, no one can leave. The resourceful Rex takes it upon himself to solve the intriguing mystery. Could the killer be the sherry-swilling handyman? The gay antiques dealer with a biting wit? The quarreling newlyweds? Surely, it's not Helen d'Arcy, the lovely lass Rex seems to be falling for... "The first installment in this new mystery series is a winner... At times, it seems we are playing Clue or perhaps enjoying a contemporary retelling of a classic Agatha Christie tale with a charming new sleuth. A must for cozy fans." ~Booklist "C.S. Challinor's Christmas Is Murder dishes up an English manor house mystery with the traditional elements: a murder, a small contingent of suspects thrown together, and an engaging and witty sleuth... Challinor will keep most readers guessing as she cleverly spreads suspicion and clues that point in one direction, then another." ~Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine "It's a charming novel, especially since the violence occurs offstage. Christmas Is Murder is full of people with interesting characters and clues... Ms. Challinor was educated in Scotland and England, which explains how she writes so convincingly of both her setting and her characters." ~Florida Weekly "Christmas Is Murder has all the elements traditional English cozy fans have come to love. The plot is tight, suspects limited and an investigation uses Rex’s wit rather than a lot of outside sources. The setting is lovely and the characters entertaining. A great start to a new series that is sure to become a modern favorite traditional English cozy series." ~The Mystery Reader (Recommended) Rex Graves Mystery titles available in LARGE PRINT: Christmas Is Murder Murder on St. Martin Murder on the Moor Murder of the Bride Murder at the Dolphin Inn Murder at Midnight Murder Comes Calling Judgment of Murder Upstaged by Murder Prelude to Murder Say Murder with Flowers Say Goodbye to Archie
