Books like Mistletoe And Murder (Daisy Dalrymple #11) by Carola Dunn
During the 1923 Christmas season, Daisy Dalrymple accompanies her husband, DCI Alec Fletcher, to visit the distant Neville family on a coastal Cornwall estate. While the festive atmosphere unfurls, religious tension arises at the feet of the secluded chapel, where missionary Mr. Calloway opposes the family’s jovial gathering. Santa‑like laughter turns into a harrowing sting when Mr. Calloway is found dead on Christmas Eve. As the elder daughter wanders the grounds at night and the younger displays frantic outbursts, the household is gripped by suspicion. Daisy’s acumen as a reporter and amateur detective comes to the fore as she investigates, using her sharp wit and investigative skills to reveal the true killer before the next day.
