Beschreibung zu „Murder After Christmas“

Uncle Willie has come to stay with the Redpaths for the holidays. It is just their luck for him to be found dead the morning after Christmas day, dressed in his Santa Claus costume, seemingly poisoned by his favourite chocolates. Or was there something sinister in the mince pies? If so, was it the ones stashed in his room or those sent to him mysteriously by post? More importantly, since his will was recently redrafted, who stands to gain by this unseasonable crime? First published in 1944, Murder After Christmas is a lively riot of murder, mince pies and misdirection, cleverly playing with beloved murder mystery tropes to create something pacey, light-hearted, and admirably suited for the holiday season.

Über Rupert Latimer

Der Name Rupert Latimer gehört heute zu den vergessenen Stimmen der englischen Kriminalliteratur der 1940er-Jahre. Hinter dem Pseudonym verbarg sich der Schriftsteller und Schauspieler Algernon Victor Mills (1905–1953).
In Stil und Geist gehört Latimer zu jener Generation britischer Autoren, die die Regeln des Detektivromans kannten – und zugleich die Lust verspürten, sie zu brechen. Sein Humor ist trocken und seine Dialoge funkeln.
