  A secret chamber. A dead body. And one ghost who won't tell the truth! 
  When Nat agrees to meet a friend in the archives of historic Barnard College after hours, she doesn’t expect to find a hidden chamber or stumble across another dead body. 
  The Master’s assistant has been murdered, and although Nat figures out who is responsible, finding the evidence is a challenge. Especially when the one ghost who witnessed the crime refuses to say what happened. 
  The closer Nat comes to finding the proof she needs, tempers flare and threats fly. The situation becomes a race against time, and just when she thinks she’s won, Nat realises the murderer is willing to do whatever it takes to escape justice, including getting Nat out of the way. 
  Permanently. 
  Nat’s miscalculation will cost someone their life, but whose? 
  If you like cozy mysteries where ghosts walk the halls, paintings come to life, wyverns play around, and magic seems within reach, the Oxford Key Mysteries are sure to delight.

  Lady Darriby-Jones, ever the gracious hostess, welcomes an eclectic mix of aristocrats, eccentrics, and an unexpected scandal or two to her stately home each year at the most wonderful time of the year.

  Armed with sharp wit, a knack for unearthing secrets, and a few well-placed questions over tea, she dives into a tangle of alibis, hidden grudges, and festive deceptions. Can she crack the case before the real murderer strikes again? Or will this holiday season be her last? 
   
   
   
  Packed with intrigue, humor, and all the charm of a 1920s English countryside Christmas, The Mystery of the Christmas Crackers is a cozy historical mystery you won't want to put down.
