Murder Most Festive

'Tis the season for murder...

Steph Williams is looking forward to a much-needed Christmas break with her family, nestled in the idyllic setting of Fineshade Wood. A few days of workshops, guided woodland walks and roaring fires is exactly what they all need to get into the festive spirit.

But by the end of the first evening, tensions are already on the rise, and when a wreath-making class goes south the next day, Steph is wondering if she's made a terrible mistake.

Then a body turns up - a wreath wrapped around its neck - and another person goes missing.

With more than a couple of the guests implicated, it's up to Steph and her trusty dog, Mouse, to start digging through the clues. But as snowfall thickens outside, it's not long before they all find themselves snowed in - with a murderer in their midst.

Can Steph unearth the truth and restore peace and goodwill to all before Christmas Day arrives?

Join gardener-turned-amateur-sleuth, Steph Williams, and her trusty sidekick, Mouse, on a festive adventure in the very first short story in the beloved Gardener Mystery series. Perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, M.C. Beaton and Richard Osman!
