‘If a slightly tipsy Agatha Christie had written the Midsomer Murders Christmas special, then that’s Jo Middleton’s Not Another Bloody Christmas. Smart and wickedly funny, it had me cackling into my eggnog!’ IAN MOORE

‘Only Jo Middleton could turn murder into an essential Festive Family Tradition! My favourite Christmas book of the year!’ GILL SIMS

Anna’s taking the family away for Christmas. Unlike last year, there will be no risk of her burning the turkey, far less nagging from her mother-in-law and – crucially – a zero per cent chance of finding a dead body in her larder.

All she wants is to relax with a glass of wine in front of the fire. But when another group of guests show up just before a snowstorm, her plans begin to go awry. And the appearance of a dead body threatens to bugger up Christmas once again…

Can Anna get merry and root out the murderer? Or will this be another bloody Christmas nightmare?

A hilarious whodunnit that will keep you guessing this Christmas, perfect for fans of Gill Sims, Ian Moore and Richard Osman.

‘A compulsive Christmas cake binge of a read – terrific! So piercingly funny, I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or wince. A murder mystery brew that beats eggnog hands down!’ J. M. HALL

‘Hilarious, mysterious and delicious. Anna is possibly the most relatable detective I’ve read in years, and I reckon if she can solve a mystery with only her chaotic family and a pair of Marigolds at hand, there’s hope for us all!’ ANTONY JOHNSTON

‘Wonderfully funny with that extra bite that makes Jo Middleton one of the very best crime writers we have!’ JONATHAN WHITELAW

‘A compulsive Christmas cake binge of a read – terrific! So piercingly funny, I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or wince. A murder mystery brew that beats eggnog hands down!’ J. M. HALL
