'If you like your mysteries dark and just a little bit twisted' People.com, 11Festive Mystery Books That Are To Die For This Holiday Season

🔪🔪🔪🔪

Perfect for fans of The White Lotus, Knives Out and anyone who’s ever wanted to strangle someone over Christmas lunch.

All Olivia wanted was one last miserable Christmas with her husband’s awful family before moving to Australia. She didn’t expect a murder.

Now the snow has cut them off and she’s stuck in a stately country house, with her increasingly deranged relatives and the rising suspicion that someone is picking them off one by one.

As the bodies pile up and the festive façade starts to crack, Olivia must survive the season, or, at the very least, get through lunch without anyone else choking on a sprout.

Sharp, smart and deliciously twisted, this is Christmas with all the trimmings: cold cuts, warm lies and at least one suspicious pudding.

A truly excellent locked room mystery!

I liked the storyline, the vast array of characters. I found the ending deliciously judicious.

Reminds me a lot of Agatha Christie

12 members of a family gathered together at Christmas. They don’t like each other. One of them controls the purse strings. A snowstorm isolates them. One by one they start “accidentally” dying. A fun Christmas read.

Twists and turns

You know who the killer is…trust yourself. All the twists and turns will have you second guessing. This one s a fun, quick read just in time for the holidays!

Storyline

This was well written I really enjoyed this book. The plot twist was not surprising but still well presented

Olivia had girded her loins for the Christmas from heII with her obnoxiously awful in-laws, but when creatively dispatched bodies started amassing, the party really got started! Delightfully dark, and humorously twisted with an ending i did NOT see coming, “12 Way to Kill Your Family at Christmas” fits the bill in EVERY way! The plot, the characters and the narration brilliantly combined to give this listener a truly delightful experience that will surly be held handy for repeated listening. Five fabulous fantastic stars! I loved everything about this one!
