Synopsis

Don't miss the perfect Christmas present for yourself (or for that best friend who would definitely help you hide a body…) ––––––––––––––––––––– Anna's Christmas Eve To Do List: 1. Wrap the kids' presents​ 2. Peel the potatoes ​ 3. Hungover and exhausted after her family's annual party, all Anna Johnson wants for Christmas is to finish her to-do list and finally sit down with the world’s biggest glass of wine. But when she stumbles across a dead body in her larder, her plans are well and truly buggered. A mysterious death in her home is the last thing she needs, but with her judgemental in-laws arriving in less than twenty-four hours, turning her house into a crime scene is not an option. If she’s going to save Christmas, it’s up to Anna to find out what the hell’s gone on. Oh – and figure out what to do with the body before one of the kids finds it. And you thought burning the turkey was the worst that could happen… ––––––––––––––––––––– READERS LOVE HAPPY BLOODY CHRISTMAS!

4.5 🌟 I did this on audio and it was GREAT. I found myself laughing out loud so many times. Yes the story is entirely unrealistic but I just had such a fun time.......more

Goodreads review by simona.citeste on January 06, 2025

Deși investigăm o crimă, cartea a fost mai mult amuzantă. N-am putut să iau în serios personajele; avem o crimă ce a avut loc într-o cămară iar proprietara casei face pe detectiva alături de familie și o prietenă. La nebunia asta se adaugă și soacrei nesuferite pentru că totul are loc în ajun de Cră......more

Goodreads review by Kelly.M on September 07, 2024

I have read so many books that I laugh aloud or sniggered to myself. Never have I read a book that has appealed to my sense of humour like this book did. Happy Bloody Christmas has had me in fits of laughter, I mean tears streaming down my face, jaw achingly laughter. What I must have looked like sa......more

Goodreads review by Ken on March 09, 2025

This was such a fun engaging read with a quirky edge. The idea of a dead Santa (her boss in costume) found dead in the larder the day after a party instantly had me hooked.
