When a costumed, pike-spiked body turns up after a traditional historic reenactment of the 1645 Battle of Thornford, the Reverend Tom bFatherb Christmas and the villagers of Thornford Regis find themselves in a battle of their own as they deal with events from the murky, more recent past. C.C. Benisonbs latest intriguing and delightful Father Christmas mystery will leave cozy mystery readers puzzling over the outcome and, like a refreshing English cream tea, wishing there were more.
Benisonbs novella rips along at a satisfying pace. Father Tom Christmas finds himself, once again, deep in the stew of human comedy and frailty that simmers under the calm surface of Thornford Regis. bCatherine MacDonald, award winning author of Put on the Armour of Light
As far as I’m concerned, this Father Christmas is welcome all year round, and the more often the better! bMiranda James, NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author
