Death on Holly Island: The perfect cosy Christmas crime novel for the festive season from the author of Murder at Mistletoe Manor
About this audiobook
A crime festival on a remote Scottish island. A crumbling Victorian hotel.
Eight authors . . . and a ruthless killer.
Welcome to Holly Island, where the annual Christmas crime-writing festival is about to begin.
Eight writers are already in residence at the island’s solitary hotel. But before the audience can arrive by boat, the island is cut off by blizzards – and a famous author is found murdered.
With the killer still among them, podcaster Jenna is forced to turn detective. Can she track down the murderer before it’s too late – or will she become the next chapter in this deadly tale?
