May Morrigan was hoping for mulled wine and minimal drama this festive season. But when your eccentric mother asks you to hide a bloody knife, your estranged twin sister moves in, and your housemate is staging a chaotic pantomime starring a washed-up TV actor with a stalker . . . a quiet Christmas is off the cards.

Retired librarian and bookshop owner May Morrigan lives in the affluent village of Blackheath with Fletcher, her best friend since they met decades ago, and May's two dogs. After an unpleasant church volunteer and an annoying local butcher meet their untimely ends, Fletcher and May team up to do some sleuthing. Soon, the elderly pair start working with a young journalist to investigate the case of a missing girl and its possible link to previous unsolved crimes.

May Morrigan, Bibliothekarin a. D., trägt bevorzugt Perlenkette und Pastell, ihr Herzensort ist ihre imposante Buchhandlung. Die alte Dame lebt in einem englischen Landidyll vor den Toren Londons, gemeinsam mit ihren beiden Dackeln und ihrem alten Studienfreund Fletcher. Ein beschauliches Leben - wäre da nicht Mays Hang, unliebsame Menschen aus dem Verkehr zu ziehen. Wer die Gemeinschaft stört, wird kurzerhand eliminiert.
