Publisher's summary

This Christmas time, things are not all fine. For there's trouble at Devlin's Department Store, and it all seems to centre on the first floor. Where strangely, one can hear a cuckoo chime...

T'is the season to be jolly. And Old Tom must crack the case, before he can hang up his holly.

Probably not going to buy another

This book really lacks for substance. Albeit only an hour+ long, there were significant opportunities to develop ANY character into a surprise. Yet the author chose to go with the standard newspaper editor curmudgeon and the small business owner racist.

There were at least two passages where the narrator read several paragraphs twice... all in all, simply not an enjoyable book.
