Armchair detectives should get their thinking caps on while trying to solve this rather fabulous 1950’s festive murder mystery. Stockings cause havoc in a Yorkshire fishing village as Inspector Grasby and his Superintendent investigate a murder. Inspector Grasby has written his memoirs in the 70’s looking back to the time when the country was still recovering from the deprivations of the Second World War. Denzil Meyrick, author of the DCI Daley series, certainly knows how to meld humour with murder and mayhem. The humour, of the snort and smirk variety, sits on the dark side of life and and cleverly comes from observing moments of the ridiculous or allowing us the reader, to look behind and beyond Grasby’s thoughts and feelings. The sense of place and time is wonderful, the snowed-in village, hotel, streets, and the sea all offer a visual feast. The plot itself twists and corkscrews, ensuring a host of suspects. The range of characters thoroughly entertains, whether someone is on the page for a moment or in a starring role. Satisfying and rewarding, The Christmas Stocking Murders would make a wonderful gift or treat for lovers of historical or festive crime fiction.
