  Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining busybody aristocrats, tales from distant lands, and a dead body . . . now and then. 
   
   
   
  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. This year, the festive mood is shattered when one of her guests is found dead amidst the Christmas crackers and mince pies. 
   
   
   
  Enter DCI "Rude" Manners, a police chief whose investigative methods are as clumsy as a three-legged reindeer. His theory? Arrest the first suspect he stumbles upon and call it a day. 
   
   
   
  But Lady Darriby-Jones knows her guests—and her reputation—demand more than that. 
   
   
   
  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.

  It’s 20 years since Alice went missing. 
  There’s never been any trace. 
  Until now. 
   
  Until some bones are found in a shallow grave on the cold, bleak North York Moors. 
  But is it Alice? 
  Or Becky? The other girl – who disappeared a month earlier… 
  Two local girls: two families that have finally learned to live with their grief. 
  But now Michael Brady must tell one family their daughter has been found. 
  And break the bad news to the other family. 
  No-one was ever convicted. Everyone’s convinced the killer is in jail. 
  Everyone except Brady. 
  He thinks the real killer is still out there. 
  Brady has to re-open the old wounds. He has to find the real killer. And he has to stop seeing the similarities between his daughter and one of the murdered girls. 
  With the local families waiting for the ‘killer’ to come out of jail, with a boss determined to stop him discovering the truth – and without Frankie Thomson to help him – this is a case that affects Michael Brady like no other. 
   
  The Echo of Bones is the third audiobook in the Michael Brady series.
