Merry Christmas – and welcome to the Mistletoe and Murder readathon!

MAM Merry Christmas

It’s Christmas, Detectives!

On this morning in 1935, Daisy and Hazel wake up to presents and a delicious bunbreak in snowy Cambridge … and the knowledge that they’ve solved their fifth murder mystery case.

I know that some of you might have just found Mistletoe and Murder in your Christmas stockings or under your trees – and I also know that a lot of you have decided to reread the book on Christmas day!

If you are reading Mistletoe and Murder today, I hope you’re enjoying it – and I hope you’re reading it with a lovely bunbreak! You’re welcome to talk about it here with other fans – but just make sure that you don’t write anything that might ruin someone else’s enjoyment (the name of the murderer, or a hint that points directly to them)!

And finally, have a wonderful day. Whether you celebrate Christmas, like Hazel, Daisy and Alexander, or you don’t, like George, I hope you have fun – and fingers crossed that this Christmas will be as snowy as 1935’s!
