A warm and witty collection of gentle stories of Cotswold life, set in Wendlebury Barrow, the village featured in the bestselling Sophie Sayers Cozy Mystery series.
But you won't find any murder mysteries or crazy crimes in these stories - just uplifting, short festive tales, full of favourite characters from the Sophie Sayers novels, and generously sprinkled with Debbie Young's characteristic humour.
Join Sophie Sayers, her friends and neighbours, as they share village Christmas traditions, from Christmas shopping in the Hector's House bookshop and carol-singing on the village green to ringing in the New Year in the ancient bell tower.
There's also a glimpse into the backstory of Sophie's late Great Auntie May, from whom Sophie inherited her cottage, with May's late-in-life romantic reunion with her childhood sweetheart, Joshua (now Sophie's elderly next-door-neighbour).
Look out for a guest appearance by Gemma Lamb, Joe Spryke and the girls of nearby St Bride's School, home to Debbie Young's popular Gemma Lamb Cozy Mystery series.Thepaperback edition of this quick-read collection makes the perfect stocking filler or Secret Santa gift, to be enjoyed by anyone who loves heartwarming, funny stories set at Christmas time.
The ebook makes the perfect gift-to-self to divert and relax you as you prepare for your own Christmas celebrations.
If you enjoy this book, you'll love the third Sophie Sayers Cozy Mystery, Murder in the Manger, for a novel-length Christmas story, and the second Gemma Lamb Cozy Mystery, Sinister Stranger at St Bride's, set in the run-up to the quirky boarding school's Christmas Fair.
