Murder-on-Sea - Whitstable Pearl Mystery Book 2 (Unabridged‪)‬

Murder-on-Sea is the second instalment in the Whitstable Pearl crime series with a festive twist – now a major TV drama, starring Kerry Godliman!

The festive month is kicking off in style and Pearl is rushed off her feet. She's busy running her restaurant, planning a family Christmas and providing mulled wine for the church fundraiser when Christmas cards begin arriving all over town – filled with spiteful messages from an anonymous writer.

Having pledged not to take on a case before Christmas, Pearl reluctantly agrees that DCI Mike McGuire should take over; poisoned pen cards are after all a matter for the police.

With only the church fundraiser between Pearl and Christmas, she invites McGuire along as her guest. The event appears to be a great success, the hall is packed and Pearl happily finds herself standing close to McQuire beneath some mistletoe ... but then a guest suddenly collapses. Too much of Pearl’s delicious mulled wine – or something more sinister?

The last thing Pearl expects for Christmas is murder but soon the bodies are piling up. Can she possibly solve the mystery in time for the 25th – or will the murderer contrive to ensure her goose is well and truly cooked before then?
