The Twelve Suspects of Christmas: a heartwarming Provence cozy mystery perfect for the holiday season (Julie Cavallo Investigates)

Grannies, gangsters, murders—and a rollicking journey across France! It’s January 4, 1961, and Marseilles housemaid Annie Malian is in love. It’s also the day her fiancé René takes his life under peculiar circumstances. Many decades later, an old Christmas postcard addressed to Annie arrives, and all her doubts come flooding back. At 84, there’s no time to waste! Annie enlists the help of Rose Tassy, an eccentric retired teacher and amateur sleuth. Thus begins an unforgettable journey from Provence to a quaint village in Picardie and then on to the sparkling Riviera, with a detour through wintry Paris. Amid yuletide festivities, Annie and Rose navigate perilous terrain. Their list of suspects quickly grows. Was it Rene’s older brother? Maybe the ex-gangster turned chicken farmer? The powerful Monegasque tycoon? Stumped, Rose begins to question her detective mettle when a new death compounds the plot… This Christmas, will Annie receive the overdue truth as a gift? Shortlisted for the Harper Collins Poche - Le Parisien 2024 Prize, "The Twelve Suspects of Christmas" will keep you guessing, laughing and turning pages!
