What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife by Martin Edwards, read by John Telfer, Candida Gubbins and Martin Edwards.

'A true master of British crime writing.' RICHARD OSMAN
'All the entertainment you'll need this Christmas. Wonderful stuff.' IAN MOORE

Can you find the clues and solve the murder first?

Six people with links to the world of crime writing have been invited to play a game this Christmas by the mysterious Midwinter Trust.

Solve the murder of a fictional crime writer in a remote village in north Yorkshire and win a life-changing prize.

Each guest has been meticulously vetted by the shadowy Trust, which has staff on-hand to make sure everyone plays fair. But with the village about to be cut off by a snow storm, they must be extra vigilant.

The game is set – but playing fair isn’t on everyone’s Christmas list.

And when the prize is to die for, it’s so tempting to inject a little murder into the mystery...

With clues for you to find along the way, this is a traditional murder mystery with a delightful twist by a master of the crime genre, perfect for fans of Janice Hallett, Alexandra Benedict and Alex Pavesi.

The king of the puzzle mystery novel.

A mystery-within-a-mystery you can play along with, all done in the best classic style. Nobody knows the game of murder like Martin Edwards.
Antony Johnston
You can put down the Radio Times and highlighter pen, this book is all the entertainment you'll need this Christmas. Wonderful stuff.
Ian Moore
Editor, aficionado, reviewer, collector – Martin Edwards must have crime fiction coursing through his veins. But it is as a writer that he is revealed at his best, synthesising all of that knowledge and love of the genre into work that is singularly his own.
John Harvey
A classic murder mystery as fresh and sparkling as a snowy day. A perfect read for the long winter evenings.
Kate Ellis
This year’s must-read Christmas murder mystery. I absolutely loved it.
Mary Grand
Fiendish, hilarious and utterly addictive, this belongs under every Christmas tree.
Orlando Murrin
Miss Winter is an absolute treat for armchair detectives! With a cast of suspicious characters, a bleak, snow-bound location, and a plot full of unexpected twists and turns, it’s a Christmas slay ride every murder mystery fan will enjoy.
Fiona Leitch
Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife is a fiendishly clever murder mystery rooted in the traditions of the Golden Age but also fresh and innovative. Plot wrapped in plot, puzzle wrapped in puzzle - it's delicious fun to peel back the layers and see if you solved the mysteries of Midwinter before the hapless Harry Crystal and his fellow sleuths.
