A Christmas Mystery

Murder Under the Tree

De: Doriana Cantoni

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Olivia Sanders, a young actress with a passion for detective novels, is hired by Lady Frances Calloway to find out who killed her aunt Mary, a 70-year-old woman who was apparently loved by everyone. The woman died two weeks earlier, during afternoon tea, poisoned with a powerful dose of arsenic, but Inspector Burton of Scotland Yard is still in the dark.
Olivia must conduct an investigation alongside the police and travel from London to Blackwood, a village a few miles from the capital. She is accompanied by her best friend Violet, a hairdresser who has improvised as her assistant. The plan is to live for a while in the deceased's cottage to see if the culprit is hiding, as Lady Frances suspects, among the neighbours who attended the poisoned tea party. The goal is to find him before Christmas, preferably while remaining alive, but the murderer may not agree.
