The Jan Christopher Mysteries · Episode Two
A Mystery of Murder
'Had I known what was to happen soon after we arrived at Mr and Mrs Walker's lovely old West Country house, my apprehension about spending Christmas in Devon would have dwindled to nothing.'
Library Assistant Jan Christopher is to spend Christmas with her boyfriend DS Laurie Walker and his family, but when a murder is discovered, followed by a not very accidental accident, the traditional Christmas spirit is somewhat marred...
What happened to Laurie's ex-girlfriend? Where is the vicar's wife? Who took those old photographs? Set in 1971, this is the second Jan Christopher Cosy Mystery. Join her (and an owl and a teddy bear) in Devon for a Christmas to remember.
