A seasonal murder mystery in the Miss Tayke Investigates crime fiction series. The doyen among women sleuths and her stage director Cedric Gascoine are at loggerheads over which show to put on at the Grand during Christmas week. Cedric wins the day when he manages to persuade the BBC to televise his specially created revue. Little do either of them realise though that a brutal murder will turn out to be the main attraction. Using her skills as an eminent private investigator Miss Tayke unravels a string of red herrings in this festive murder mystery best seller as she nails down the killer and brings the miscreant to justice.
