Send us Fan Mail This week on The Book Fix Podcast, Detective Month continues as Yajaira and Cheli take on the chilling case of *Murder at Holly House* by Denzil Meyrick. It’s December 1952, and the remote village of Elderby is preparing for Christmas when a dead stranger is discovered lodged inside the chimney of Holly House. Was he a thief, a would-be murderer, or something far more dangerous? Inspector Frank Grasby is sent to investigate, hoping the case might finally repair his damaged reputation, but nothing in Elderby is quite as it seems. Yajaira and Cheli are officially on the case, examining the clues, questioning the suspects, and deciding whether this snowbound Christmas mystery delivers a clever and satisfying reveal, or leaves too many loose ends buried in the snow.
