The Santa Klaus Murder - Mavis Dorial Hay

Just in time for Christmas… Sir Osmund Melbury is the patriach of the Melbury clan, all gathered together for a family Christmas in their vast country house. Let’s face it, you can probably guess what happens next… Yup, as Sir Osmund was rumoured to be changing his will, everyone has a motive for killing the old man in his study – but which of the vast clan of Melbury’s actually did it? Written in 1936 by Mavis Doriel Hay (who wrote two other detective novels), The Santa Klaus Murder has been reprinted by the British Library who were nice enough to send me a copy to review.
