The Mistletoe Wedding Murders
by Denzil Meyrick, by Ian Moore
This Christmas, even the clergy can’t be trusted…
It’s Christmas Day 1954 and Frank Grasby’s father is getting married at Rowantree Hall. To make matters worse, Frank is best man.
Various clergymen and Frank’s boss, Superintendent Arthur Juggers gather for the celebration. Guests line the chapel as the bride glides down the aisle. The blizzard whirls outside, cutting them off from the rest of the world as Reverend Welling steps into the pulpit. He starts to speak and stutters – then falls. The horrified guests rush to his side, but Welling is already dead. Poisoned by mistletoe.
As Juggers and Grasby investigate, they discover dark secrets in this hallowed hall. Time is running out to save the wedding. Where do you turn for help, when even the clergy can’t be trusted?

Ian Moore (Author)
Bestselling author of the Follet Valley mysteries, and the critically acclaimed Judge Lombard novels, Ian Moore lives in France but is also a stand-up comedian, corporate speaker, and host in the UK. After briefly running a B&B in France, he decided writing about murder was preferable to committing it and Death and Croissants was born. Married to the ever-patient Natalie and a father of three boys, Ian is also a farmhand and a chutney-maker. Since doing less stand-up, he has stopped taking himself so seriously.
