The Falling Man Mystery and The Body On The Beach.

It’s Christmas Day in New Zealand. The sun is shining, the temperature is rising and all over the country people are enjoying this festive occasion, whether it be a barbecue brunch, a cooked ham for lunch, a platter of cold cuts in the afternoon, or a traditional roast turkey dinner. Annie Jameson, with a few last-minute cancellations and an indecent amount of food, puts out an open invite on Facebook.

Come one come all to Annie and Dean’s Christmas Day Barbecue!

Paige, one half of the detective duo known as
Squirrel & Swan and a friend of Annie’s from high school, accepts the invitation. She leaves her family lunch (it was mostly over anyway) and drags her boyfriend Tim, her best friend and business partner Sophie (thankful to escape a potentially calamitous and definitely awkward Christmas meal at her flat), and their associate Leo, to the barbecue.

On the way, Leo tells them all about The Falling Man Mystery, a strange situation that's keeping him glued to his phone. But it’s not too long before the group becomes distracted by another unexpected event. And this one requires all their attention.

There’s a dead body on the beach.... and it’s connected to Annie’s party.
But how is it related to the Falling Man Mystery?


The team at S & S Investigations have never been able to resist a mystery and Christmas day is no exception.

Can they solve the case before the culprit gets away?

Get a taste of a Kiwi Christmas and join the team from S & S Investigations - Auckland’s premier (only) psychological investigations agency – as they solve not one but two murders on Christmas Day.

Note: this novella is a standalone murder mystery that exists within the Squirrel & Swan universe, in which there is a six-book series -S & S Investigations.

Genre: Mystery
