A party game goes horribly wrong in this festive murder mystery from @nicolaupson.bsky.social, set in a snowed-in country house and starring the real-life couple who invented Cluedo. Out this Thursday in hardback ✨

It's shamelessly Christmassy. Dead of Winter with bells on. You'll definitely need a sherry and a mince pie.

Looking back though, she knew that nothing could have been as unfamiliar as this grief - this vast landscape of sorrow, emptiness and guilt, in which there were not signposts, and no rules on how to behave. If she weren't so numb, she might be amused by the irony of it all; the first thing she ever had to do without Harry was mourn him.
