✦ Synopsis
On the third day of Christmas…
Major Giles Vernon and Felix Carswell are called away from the Christmas hearth and their families to investigate a savage crime. In the bleak whaling town of Eastby, wealthy widow Anna Wetherby has been horribly murdered and her housekeeper and friend Ellen Stoddard stands accused of the crime. But it soon becomes clear that an innocent woman may go to the gallows, as forces in the town conspire to obscure the truth, and Vernon and Carswell must unpick many tangled threads and uncover a long-forgotten crime, before justice can be served.
Mummer’s Night, set in the twelve days of Christmas, is a Northminster Novella and a festive addition to the acclaimed Northminster Mysteries.
This book is best read after Tarleton’s Coffer.
