Synopsis
A Christmas Party is a classic mystery. Perfect for fans of Mystery in White by J Jefferson Farjeon.
Also published as Envious Casca.
It is no ordinary Christmas at Lexham Manor. And the mood is anything but festive.
Six holiday guests find themselves the suspects in a murder inquiry when the old Scrooge who owns the substantial estate, Nathaniel Herriard, is found stabbed in the back.
Whilst the delicate matter of inheritance could be the key to this crime, the real conundrum is how any of the suspects could have entered the locked room to commit this atrocity.

Review
"The wittiest of detective writers" * Daily Mail * "Heyer's characterisation and dialogue are an abiding delight to me . . . I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word Go." -- Dorothy L. Sayers "A writer of great wit and style . . . I've read her books to ragged shreds." * Daily Telegraph * "Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended." * New York Times * "We had better start ranking her alongside such incomparable whodunit authors as Christie, Marsh, Tey and Allingham." * San Francisco Chronicle *
