"Curl up by the fire (and lock all the doors) for this Christmas cracker of a book." â??C.S. Green, author of Sleep Tight

Twelve clues. Twelve keys. Twelve days of Christmas. But how many will die before Twelfth Night?

Agatha Christie meets Clue in this delightful, tense manor house murder mystery.

The annual Christmas Game is afoot at Endgame House, the Armitages' grand family home. This year's prize is to die forâ??deeds to the house itselfâ??but Lily Armitage has no intention of returning. She hasn't been back to Endgame since her mother died, twenty-one years ago, and she has no intention of claiming the house that haunts her dreams.

Until, that is, she receives a letter from her aunt promising that the game's riddles will give her the keys not only to Endgame, but to its darkest secrets, including the identity of her mother's murderer.

Now, Lily must compete with her estranged cousins for the twelve days of Christmas. The snow is thick, the phone lines are down, and no one is getting in or out. Lily will have to keep her wits about her, because not everyone is playing fair, and there's no telling how many will die before the winner is declared.

Including additional scavenger hunts for the reader, this clever murder mystery is the perfect gift for fans of classic mysteries, festive Christmas books, and armchair detective work.… (meer)

Lily Armitage isn't surprised her grandmother finally passes away, but she isn't sure how she feels about returning to the family estate, Endgame House and playing one last Christmas Game with her cousins for the deed to the house. Lily's mother died there, so puzzles abound, both in the past and in the present day of the game. Of course, they are snowed in almost immediately and the game takes dark turns as people struggle to learn who to trust. ( )

The thing that drew me in with this one was that it said it was for fans of Clue. I can’t remember the last time I read a murder mystery and not just a thriller. So what better than a Christmas themed one. I will admit this one started kind of slow for me. But it really picked up once the whole family got together.

Literally nothing like a little family discord and rivalry to get you into the holiday season haha. The family always play a game each year, but this one is different. It’s a game within a game. I loved the way this was done because the aunt left little clues in poetry form and they had to decipher where to find the key based on the riddle.

This one is a fairly quick and cozy read I think. It was real fun to watch all the pieces fall into place and to try and try and guess who the killer was. I really felt like I was playing a game of Clue sometimes haha. It’s fully of suspicious moments and suspicious family members. We have the clear rivalries and the more hidden ones.

I think the range of characters was phenomenal and the overall plot was really well done. I will admit that at points it kind of lagged but by the last like five chapters it felt like things were moving super fast. It really is a great choice if you want mystery and Christmas together. ( )

So. Many. Similes. ( )

Una versione moderna di "Dieci piccoli indiani" con atmosfere tipicamente british.
Tiene incollati al libro fino alla fine.
Non sarĂ  un capolavoro della giallistica ma merita comunque di venire letto.
Come al solito con i libri di Newton Compton pieno zeppo di refusi....
Un plauso invece al traduttore: non deve essere stato facile adattare gli indovinelli alla nostra lingua. ( )

Intriguing, twisty classic mystery set up with family members all competing in a game for the inheritance. I couldn’t put it down until the end. Awesome for the holidays! ( )

I tell my secret? No indeed, not I;

Perhaps someday, who knows?

But not today; it froze, and blows and snows,

And you're too curious: fie!

You want to hear it? well:

Only, my secret's mine, and I won't tell.


From "Winter: My Secret" by Christina Rossetti
