For your bookshelf, The Dead of Winter by Nicola Upson (out now) sees Hollywood heroine Marlene Dietrich make an unexpected appearance in a classic country house murder mystery. As a well-heeled group gathers for a party on an island off the Cornish coast, a festive whodunnit unfurls. ― Elle

Unforgettable . . . There is a truly brilliant twist, and oodles of excitement, yet it is the quality of the writing - "the peculiar beauty of blood upon snow" - that makes this pulpy novel not just for Christmas but for life. -- Mark Sanderson ― The Times

In a tightly structured plot, the feeling of menace and fear is kept at a high pitch by first-class writing. ― Daily Mail

Tey and her friends are trapped with a killer in an absorbing plot that has its roots in the brutal poverty of the 1930s. ― Sunday Times

1938年12月，暴风云再次在欧洲上空盘旋。约瑟芬·泰（Josephine Tey）和阿奇·彭罗斯（Archie Penrose）和朋友们聚在一起度过了康沃尔圣诞节，但圣迈克尔山上发生了两次奇怪而残酷的死亡-以及需要庇护所的世界著名影星出人意料-中断了庆祝活动。被大海和残酷的暴风雪切断，开始寻找凶手。 乔瑟芬·泰伊（Josephine Tey）系列小说中的第九部小说回顾了历史上的真实时刻，它借鉴了黄金时代圣诞节奥秘中所有备受喜爱的惯例，同时给他们带来了激动人心的当代转折。
