The Santa Klaus Murder
Sir Osmond Melbury is discovered at a family Christmas gathering – by a
guest dressed as Santa Klaus – with a bullet in his head on Christmas Day, the family festivities are plunged into chaos.
Nearly every member of the party stands to reap some sort of benefit from Sir
Osmond's death, but Santa Klaus, the one person who seems to have every
opportunity to fire the shot, has no apparent motive. Chief Constable of
Haulmshire has his work cut out for him this festive season. Join him in
finding out whodunnit.
