Sherlock Holmes and the Yule-tide Mystery by Val Andrews
Christmas is fast approaching - but for Sherlock Holmes and his assistant, Dr Watson, a sudden visitor is to change what little plans they had made.
James Harding, owner of a Guildford antique business, has travelled to 221B Baker Street armed with an intriguing proposition for the ever-dutiful detective.
He has received an invitation from a Mr. Gerald MacMillan to assemble some friends and spend the festive period with him at his stately home in Sussex.
A bizarre proposal considering Harding had only just met MacMillian...
Holmes, who swiftly recognises MacMillan as a former confidence man, together with Watson shall form the rest of the travelling party.
Whilst there, the famous duo try to uncover the intentions of the seemingly hospitable host who has chosen to spend Christmas with a stranger...
Val Andrews (15 February 1926 - 12 December 2006) authored many Sherlock Holmes pastiches
