The Hollybrook Christmas Killer | A Miss Marple Mystery

Step into the snow-covered village of Hollybrook, where Christmas lights glow, carols fill the village hall, and every familiar face appears wrapped in seasonal goodwill. But during the annual Christmas Eve concert, respected choirmaster Edmund Fairweather drinks from his specially prepared cup of mulled wine—and dies before the interval is over. The cup had been placed apart from all the others. His nervous assistant prepared it. His solicitor had just threatened to defy him. His unexpected stepdaughter had been seen near the stage. And beneath Edmund’s charming smile lay years of secrets, manipulation, and quiet cruelty. While the police focus on the most obvious suspect, Miss Marple begins studying the smaller details: a private cup left unattended, a frightened woman with a carefully visible alibi, an old photographic darkroom, the faint memory of bitter almonds, and a shadowy figure seen beside the stage. In a village where almost everyone had a reason to fear the dead man, finding who poisoned him may be easier than understanding why the truth was hidden for so long. Settle in for a cozy, atmospheric British mystery filled with snowy village lanes, Christmas traditions, buried scandals, psychological suspense, and Miss Marple’s quietly brilliant understanding of human nature.
