Happy Bloody Christmas : Book 1

Agatha Christie meets Gill Sims in this Christmas murder mystery with a world-weary heroine, for whom getting rid of an unexpected dead body is just another thing to add to the bloody to-do list... And you thought burning the turkey was the worst that could happen...​ Christmas is all about lists. To do lists. Shopping lists. Lists to bloody Santa. And doesn't Anna Johnson know it. Waking up on Christmas Eve after the annual Johnson party, she's hungover, exhausted and really sick and tired of Christmas already. All she wants is to tick the last things off her endless list and sit down with the world's biggest glass of wine. ​ But apparently that's not going to happen any time soon because now her list looks like this:​ 1. Wrap the presents​ 2. Peel the potatoes ​ 3. Stuff the turkey​ 4. Get rid of the dead body A mysterious death in her home really is the last thing she has time for right now, but with police officers who could double as the Chuckle Brothers and a husband and two kids intent on watching Christmas films, it looks like it's up to her to find out what the hell's gone on. Oh - and figure out what to do with the body before her in-laws arrive. Happy bloody Christmas indeed.​ ---------- 'An outrageously funny, festive romp!'
