'This should be on every crime reader’s Christmas wish list’ CHRIS WHITAKER, bestselling author of We Begin at the End

*THIS WINTER'S MOST CHILLING KINDLE TOP 20 AND AUDIBLE TOP 10 BESTSELLER*

*

In the picturesque village of Kibblesworth, DI Tom Stonem is dreaming of a quiet Christmas alone.

But in the shadow of the Angel of the North, a body lies waiting. The dead man is posed with a child’s Christmas list in his pocket, and the first mysterious item – 1. No angel – is crossed off.

When a second body is found – a woman, stabbed in the abdomen after her work Christmas do – Stonem is convinced there’s a grim connection between the crime scenes and the seemingly innocent list. 2. Red partee dress. Could this be a murderer’s twisted code?

As a blizzard rages in the Tyne & Wear countryside, the body count is snowballing. Can Stonem stop the killer before they get everyone on their Christmas list?

An anti-cosy Christmas crime novel for fans of The Killer in the Snow and One by One.

This is the first book in the DI Tom Stomen series, and he is one of those wonderfully flawed protagonists who make for great detectives. He doesn’t always follow the rules and isn’t necessarily a great team player, yet he genuinely cares about the people around him, which makes him incredibly likable and relatable.

There are a lot of layers to both the crime and the culprit. I had a few suspicions here and there, but Frost’s clever plotting and generous sprinkling of misdirection delivered plenty of surprises!

If you’re looking for a cozy mystery novel, this isn’t it. As advertised, this is a darker, anti-cozy holiday thriller—and Frost delivers! After reading back-to-back cozy mysteries, I needed a change, and this was perfect. I’m excited for more installments in this series!
