Just published, Nov 8th 2020! Brand-new murder mystery for Christmas this year!

Christmas Eve in Grantchester is a novella prequel to the hugely popular Cambridge Murder Mysteries. A page-turning whodunnit in the tradition of Agatha Christie, Colin Dexter ...

It is Christmas Eve and Professor Elizabeth Green has driven to Grantchester for a walk in the snow with her husband, Sir Gerald Green.

But when they arrive by a snowman near the river, what happens next casts shadows across the meadows for the rest of the day.

If you like whodunnits and mystery fiction without all the gore, this might be the perfect Christmas read for you or a loved one!

This is the best introduction to The Cambridge Murder Mystery Series. The Cambridge Murder Mysteries feature an amateur sleuth Professor Elizabeth Green, and her sidekicks Inspector Abley and grandson, Godric.

And what of Professor Elizabeth Green?...

In her fifties, this female protagonist is quintessentially English. An eccentric professor in her ivory tower, she maintains a sharp wit, yet is flawed by her inability to connect well with people, instead giving off a cold, opinionated and sometimes acerbic air. Though very kind to all animals (dogs, cats and the rest!) - a vegan - and a great gardener, in truth she keeps her friends close, and only lets a few dear people into her world.

This latest murder mystery from Charlot King is a prequel novella to the series which can be read first, or as a stand-alone short story. Bk1 POISON, Bk2 CURSED, Bk3 BLOOD MOON and Bk4 A CHRISTMAS MYSTERY of THE CAMBRIDGE MURDER MYSTERIES are available on Amazon for Kindle and paperback around the world, with Bk5 coming in 2020.

If you like crime fiction, murder mysteries, whodunnits, women sleuths, traditional British detective stories, then you might like Poison, Cursed, Blood Moon and A Christmas Mystery. Or, if you just like a good mystery set in Cambridge with all the quirky peculiarities of the English, then the Cambridge Murder Mysteries might be for you too.
