A Corpse in Christmas Close by Michelle Salter
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
When Iris Woodmore visits Winchester for their annual pantomime, murder is the last thing she expects to find.
And there seems to be no valid reason as to why anyone would want to hurt lead actress, Rachel Lacey – kind and philanthropic, she organized the Christmas performance to raise funds for the Winchester Cathedral Great War Fund.
Determined to uncover the sinister forces at play, Iris and her dear friend Percy embark on a perilous journey through the snow-lined streets of Winchester, where secrets lurk around every corner and danger looms in the shadows.
But as they close in on the truth, they find themselves drawn into a web of deceit and betrayal, where nothing is as it seems and the line between friend and foe blurs dangerously.
My Opinion
A Corpse in Christmas Close is the fifth book in the Iris Woodmore Mysteries series but I have read it as a standalone without issue. From the book it was clear that Iris was a strong and independent woman - she is a journalist and she is determined to learn how to drive.
I enjoyed this festive mystery and I read the majority of the book in one sitting. When the leading lady in the festive pantomime is murdered there are plenty of suspects and Iris finds herself in the middle of the investigation. Following my enjoyment of book 5, this is one of those series that I feel like I have to go back and read in the correct order.
Rating 4/5
