About this listen
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.

Very enjoyable
A jolly story with a great narrator. A great rediscovery for the fabulous British Library crime classics collection.

Light and witty
A refreshing and sparkling story, well told. A cast of well-meaning eccentrics. Would have made a good play.

A bit too long
There are some nice character portraits and some amusing moments. It has a good Christmas atmosphere but overall a bit too drawn out.

Don’t bother
This is probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read or listened to. The narrator did his best but I had to give up in chapter 4.

Awful
Gave up. Storyline awful, narrator just made the story sound even more silly. Really disappointed as this was recommended
