Blue Christmas

Celebrate Christmas with Tony & Kate Hetheridge

Tis the season for murder—and Lord & Lady Hetheridge are back on the case. When miserly millionaire Barnaby Galen is found dead in his crumbling mansion, police find two corpses on the scene: the murder victim and the murder weapon. The scene is a macabre spectacle: Galen’s lifeless body is accompanied by a ghastly human skeleton, seemingly ripped from a nightmarish twist on A Christmas Carol. This deadly apparition was rigged to scare him to death—but by who?

After a restorative retreat at his country manor, Tony Hetheridge is eager to get back to his job: private detective and consultant to Scotland Yard. His wife Kate, however, is still haunted by their last case’s violent end. In a bid to reignite her investigative passion, Tony teams up with their friend, DI Deepal Bhar, to delve into the dead man’s past. The Scrooge-like miser victim left behind a trail of enemies and a neighborhood brimming with eccentric suspects.

Will Kate be able to put the trauma behind her and resume her career at Scotland Yard? Or will Tony and Paul have to go it alone?

From the Author:

First, I’d like to thank all my readers for their kind words, loyalty, and patience. Especially their patience!

The two questions new readers always ask are, “Will there be more Hetheridge–‘Blue’–books?” and “What else have you written?”

Regarding question one, will there be more Lord & Lady Hetheridge books? The answer is a resounding yes. I have no plans to end the series. As long as I can write, I’ll be writing about Tony & Kate and their friends. It’s just that simple. At the moment, I’m planning book #9, which will be called BOLT FROM THE BLUE.

Regarding question two, I’m thrilled to tell you that I write other series! The first is the Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries. Set during the Second World War in my imaginary Cornish village, Birdswing, it’s a fun, nostalgic, romantic cozy mystery series. When Dr. Bones is selected to serve his country at home during the war, he is adopted by a rural community very different from London. Packed with great characters, entertaining storylines, and complex mysteries, it’s a perfect choice for anyone who is waiting (patiently, or impatiently) for another Hetheridge book.

I also write the Jem Jago Mysteries, published by Bookouture. Set in the Isles of Scilly, an English archipelago off the coast of Cornwall, it concerns Jemima Jago—librarian, thirty-something singleton, and intrepid amateur sleuth. There are five books in all, and they contain some of my funniest scenes.

Last but certainly not least, I am launching a new series, Skullduggery. Book #1 is HUNTING THE BEAST.
