One dead Santa.
A town full of suspects. Will you discover the truth?

Christmas in Lower Lockwood, and the Fairway Players are busy rehearsing their festive pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk. But there's not much good will among the amateur dramatics enthusiasts. Sarah-Jane is fending off threats to her new position as Chair, the beanstalk might be full of asbestos, and someone is trying to ruin the panto before the curtain even goes up.

Plus, there's the small matter of the dead Santa. Who had the victim on their naughty list? Read the round robins, examine the emails and pore over the police transcripts to discover the truth. Will the show go on?

Getting easier to read 😂

Janice Hallett books have never been an easy read, but by the end they have always proved to be well worth the effort.
Having read two earlier stories I found that they do get easier and as such even more enjoyable and this story was really excellent. I now realise that the style of text lends itself wonderfully well to building up a level of expectation about what’s on the next page and the anticipation means that you do not want to take a break and put it down.
Moving straight onto another of her stories…and seriously looking forward to the ride. 😎🍸
