The perfect Christmas gift for armchair detectives – Richard Osman meets Murdle. It is a time-honoured tradition that in the shadowy nights before Christmas, people gather together by the flicker of candlelight to play parlour games and, later, to share the dark and twisted tales of Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie and more. Now, there’s a new storyteller in town, bringing you twelve new festive tales – but this time, with a twist. At the end of each story, you will receive another clue – but can you solve the mystery in time for Christmas? These twelve puzzling whodunnits will test even the most seasoned of sleuths and serve as fascinating reading for the whole family.
