About the Book

Do you love a classic English whodunit? Then meet your favourite new gentleman sleuth: whip-smart Oxford don, Dr Patrick Grant. He loves rhyming verse, witty banter, strong coffee and solving impossible mysteries from history. Now he must pit his wits against a true-life killer. **A CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger winner for outstanding lifetime achievement!** Dr Patrick's on holiday in the charming Alpine village of Greutz, Austria and ready to hit the slopes! Until, he spots something terrible from the balcony of his cozy chalet . . . A dead body! Frozen stiff on the chair lift. He looks every inch the expert skier - if only he weren't so inconveniently dead. The villagers chalk it up as a tragic accident. But Patrick's not convinced. Everything about the scene - from the corpse's nonchalant pose to his neatly strapped skis - points to murder in the coldest blood! As a blizzard rages, Patrick finds himself snowed in at the luxury Hotel Gentiana with a motley group of fellow guests. Between fiercely competitive skiers, jaded wives and would-be Lotharios, they all have secrets to hide. Who's the murderer in their midst? It's up to Patrick to solve this baffling mystery, before the killer strikes again. But the truth can be a slippery slope . . . A masterclass in misdirection, brimming with village intrigue and sly humour, this page-turning mystery is perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Agatha Christie, Veronica Heley, the Reverend Richard Coles and Clare Chase. 'A writer of stealthy brilliance . . . the Miss Marple of crime fiction.' Andrew Taylor 'Explores the dark undercurrents of village life.' Daily Telegraph 'There was nobody better . . . Margaret Yorke wrote with a pen dipped in acid.' Val McDermid MEET THE SLEUTH Dr Patrick Grant is a man of unparalleled intellect, as sharp and complex as his whisky namesake. He'd happily devote every moment to poring over Shakespeare's plays, chortling at student fashions, jotting down lines of iambic pentameter and solving obscure historical puzzles in the library of St Mark's College, Oxford. In this haven of musty old manuscripts and quiet cloisters, he can pursue his passions in peace - if only murder wouldn't keep on getting in the way! Stumbling on crime scenes is becoming a habit for Patrick. And he's never one to shy away from a baffling mystery. But will his curiosity and his brilliant puzzle-solving mind be his undoing . . . ? Readers love the Oxford Don Mysteries! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I wholeheartedly recommend! But be warned . . . I'll bet you can't read just one!' Donny, Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Jam packed with twists and turns that will leave you guessing till the last page.' Tash, Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Yorke never lets me down. Fantastic.' Nicky, Amazon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Loved every minute - and the surprise ending. Splendid British cozy.' Jill, Amazon
