图书描述

A classic mystery for the festive season: mulled wine, mince pies...and murder.

Mordecai Tremaine, former tobacconist and perennial lover of romance novels, has been invited to spend Christmas in the sleepy village of Sherbroome at the country retreat of one Benedict Grame.

Arriving on Christmas Eve, he finds that the revelries are in full flow - but so too are tensions amongst the assortment of guests.

Midnight strikes and the party-goers discover that it's not just presents nestling under the tree...there's a dead body too. A dead body that bears a striking resemblance to Father Christmas.

With the snow falling and the suspicions flying, it's up to Mordecai to sniff out the culprit - and prevent someone else from getting murder for Christmas.

'Kept guessing to the end, I am left wondering why it has taken so long to discover Francis Duncan… With some 20 crime novels to his credit, a relaunch seems long overdue'

Daily Mail

'Who can resist a seasonal whodunnit? This is a bah-humbug’s ideal read'

Lady

'The book nods towards Agatha Christie but retains a crackling atmosphere of dread and horror that will chill the heart however warm your fireside'

Metro

'A wonderfully cosy read and a great way to while away a winter’s evening'

Nudge

'This is a golden age murder mystery that’ll certainly appeal to lovers of Agatha Christie – or anyone who enjoys a good, old-fashioned whodunit… This is a book that could be read at any time of year but would certainly make perfect festive reading. It has humour, excellent characterisation and a gentle tone that would sit well following the after-Queen’s Speech nap'

著者简介

Francis Duncan is the pseudonym for William Underhill, who was born in 1918. He lived virtually all his life in Bristol and was a ‘scholarship boy’ boarder at Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital school. Due to family circumstances he was unable to go to university and started work in the Housing Department of Bristol City Council. Writing was always important to him and very early on he published articles in newspapers and magazines. His first detective story was published in 1936.

In 1938 he married Sylvia Henly. Although a conscientious objector, he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps in World W ar II, landing in France shortly after D-Day. After the war he trained as a teacher and spent the rest of his life in education, first as a primary school teacher and then as a lecturer in a college of further education. In the 1950s he studied for an external economics degree from London University. No mean feat with a family to support; his daughter, Kathryn, was born in 1943 and his son, Derek, in 1949.

Throughout much of this time he continued to write detective fiction from ‘sheer inner necessity’, but also to supplement a modest income. He enjoyed foreign travel, particularly to France, and took up golf on retirement. He died of a heart attack shortly after celebrating his fiftieth wedding anniversary in 1988.

动机有趣,整本书阅读体验很好,尤其是在圣诞节的氛围下,感觉别有一番风味,推荐

评分

很精彩的古典本格推理。经典黄金时期设定:古老宅邸,圣诞节,聚集到一起的奇怪人们,各自心怀鬼胎等等(参照Thou Shell of Death),前面稍微有点啰嗦,Plot很精彩很复杂,红鲱鱼和伏线到处都是,最后全都收回来了,解答过瘾,动机设置很赞,缺点是解答完了嘎然而止,也没有简单交代一下人物结局。很适合圣诞节看

评分

四星半,非常精彩的作品。作者行文流畅自如,而且侦探角色非常讨喜,属于我喜欢的类型。动机非常难猜,反正我是没猜出来-应该说根本就没有想到那块去。有两个小小的遗憾:1.结尾太仓促了,感觉再简单交代交代就完美了;2.有几点...的原因在最终解答时写的过于模糊。总之,如果作者其他作品都有这部的水平,那一定要买来看看

真凶也没多意外,毕竟怀疑了一圈都没提到他…逗呢 不过总体算近期看的不错的了
