The Christmas Market Murder by Peter Boland
‘Tis the season for mince pies, mulled wine . . . and murder!
November in Southbourne should be all twinkly lights and festive cheer, but Fiona, Daisy, and Partial Sue – the retired trio who run Dogs Need Nice Homes charity shop – have little to celebrate. What with the elusive ‘Southbourne Stalker’ prowling the streets of their sleepy seaside town, they’re in need of a little seasonal magic.
The new Christmas market seems the perfect tonic: fairy lights in the pines, the scent of cinnamon on the air, and mugs of steaming mulled wine. Until . . .
A desperate scream shatters the calm.
Postmaster Scott Preston is trying to break into a locked cabin. His father’s inside – and in terrible trouble. By the time the door is forced, it’s too late. His father is dead.
The police say he took his own life. But Scott can’t believe that’s true. His dad was many things, but tidy wasn’t one of them – and the stall is suspiciously spotless. Someone had a good clear-up before making their getaway.
Now the ladies must unwrap a mystery knottier than a string of Christmas lights, before someone else ends up six feet under the mistletoe.
About Peter Boland
After studying to be an architect, Pete realised he wasn't very good at it. He liked designing buildings he just couldn't make them stand up, which is a bit of a handicap in an industry that likes to keep things upright. So he switched to advertising, writing ads for everything from cruise lines to zombie video games.
After becoming disillusioned with working in ad agencies, he switched to writing thriller novels (or was it because he just wanted to work at home in his pyjamas?). He soon realised there's no magic formula. You just have to put one word in front of the other (and keep doing that for about a year). It also helps if you can resist the lure of surfing, playing Nintendo Switch with his son, watching America's Next Top Model with his daughter and drinking beer in a garden chair.
