Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife

The crime fiction historian and author of the Rachel Savernake series spins a brilliantly constructed whodunit, as six down-at-heel competitors with links to the crime writing world prepare to play a deadly festive game. Six down-on-their-luck people with links to the world of crime writing have been invited to play a game this Christmas by the mysterious Midwinter Trust.

The challenge seems simple but exciting: Solve the murder of a fictional crime writer in a remote but wonderfully atmospheric village in north Yorkshire to win a prize that will change your fortunes for good. Find the clues. Play along. Solve the murder first.

We chat to Martin about his new book, and with some fun for attendees and prizes on the day - we want to make this event one for the amateur crime sleuths to relish! Martin Edwards is a magician who conjures up a captivating crime story before your eyes. - Janice Hallett You can put down the Radio Times and highlighter pen, this book is all the entertainment you'll need this Christmas.

Wonderful stuff. - Ian Moore
