I am a fan of this author’s crime books, and this is a worthy addition to the set. Set over the Christmas period, a series of horrible Grinch-like pranks on the residents of an estate sees DS Fine trying to figure out the culprits. But when the murders start, Fine’s investigation takes on a much more urgent pace. With little to go on, and increasing pressure from all parties, Ellen Fine is up against it. An explosive ending and outcome that keeps you guessing. This is a shorter novel than Garcia’s usual ones, but no less the story. Highly recommended for fans of murder fiction.
