A missing belt. A dead Santa. An accident that doesn't quite add up.

When Father Christmas fails to return to the St Mary's Christmas Festival,
Lily Larkin goes looking for him. She finds the beloved volunteer dead at the fireside in his festive home.

The evidence points to a tragic accident. But Lily isn't convinced.

When Santa's missing belt is found in a rubbish bin at the festival grounds, she begins to suspect someone deliberately sent him home that night. As one unsettling discovery leads to another, it’s clear that what looked like an accident is actually something far more sinister.

With PC
Flynn Grainger by her side—and Flynn's mother visiting Scilly for the first time'''Lily sets out to uncover the truth. But as old rivalries, family secrets and long-buried resentments come to light, she discovers almost everyone in Santa's close-knit circle has something to hide.

Was Father Christmas the victim of a carefully planned murder—or did one deadly Christmas mistake set an even darker chain of events in motion?

This is the 9th book in the Lily Larkin Mysteries, but can also be enjoyed as a standalone mystery.
