  Father Christmas, otherwise known as good ol' Santa Claus is dead, murdered in the street, poisoned with a fatal cocktail laced with mistletoe for that 'Christmas touch'.

  With one of his own team now a witness in a diplomatic murder and taken off the Last Chance Saloon, DI Declan Walsh is an officer down and on the back foot, as he travels a world of red-nosed reindeers and snowy scenes, hunting a grinch that doesn't just have a hatred of anyone who plays the jolly, red-clothed figure, but instead has a mysterious, unknown higher purpose, one that leads back to Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol... 
   
  Can Declan and his team find and stop the killer before Christmas, or will he be stuck on the naughty list forever?

  "The Lodger" by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a suspenseful novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Robert and Ellen Bunting, a struggling couple living in a modest home in London, whose lives are forever changed when they take in a peculiar lodger named Mr. Sleuth. The Buntings are on the brink of poverty, and while Mr. Sleuth seems like a potential solution to their financial woes, his enigmatic demeanor and deep interest in dark subjects create an unsettling atmosphere. 
  The novel introduces the Buntings in their dreary living conditions, emphasizing their economic struggles and emotional turmoil. Mr. Bunting is portrayed as a somewhat dull man trying to maintain his dignity despite their impending financial disaster, while Mrs. Bunting grapples with despair over their situation. Their lives take a dramatic turn when a series of brutal murders, attributed to a figure known as "The Avenger," begin to plague the city, coinciding with Mr. Sleuth's arrival and his odd behavior. 
  The couple's initial relief at securing a lodger sharply contrasts with the growing suspense surrounding Mr. Sleuth and the violent events occurring outside their home. This creates an atmosphere of intrigue and tension as they navigate their precarious circumstances.

  From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: “Tainted love, jealousy and, brilliant revenge—this book has got the lot” (New Woman).   Thirty-eight-year-old Jules Sampson is barely getting by as a working actor in London—until she gets a job as a stand-in for American movie star Lila Dune. Being the same age and in the same business, the two hit it off, but their careers couldn’t be more different. Jules may not be as beautiful and successful as Lila, but she’s a far better actor. Her impersonation of Lila is spot-on, and the two even slip into each other’s lives. It’s all just fun and games. But Jules has made a dreadful miscalculation—one that takes her already simmering resentment of Lila to the boiling point. Consumed by jealousy, Jules is ready for her close-up—and no one is better prepared than her for her next big role . . . Taking readers on a whirlwind of madness and obsession from London to New York to Los Angeles, “Moggach’s examination of the unbalanced mind is spellbinding, and the characters horribly believable. . . . This is [her] best novel yet” (Options). “Compulsively readable . . . a triumph.” —Sunday Express “Intelligent, persuasive, sensuous, perceptive . . . what an accomplishment!” —Fay Weldon, author of The Life and Loves of a She Devil “An exciting, deftly executed thriller with considerable psychological intrigue.” — Publishers Weekly “With a marvelous snap of a windup, an absorbing, inventive chiller, complete with undertones of a sour, wry humor.” —Kirkus Reviews
