BOOKCLUB - The Dead of Winter by Nicola Upson

Join us at Wygston’s House for a friendly and light-hearted monthly book club.

We will be in one of the two side rooms, ask at the bar, or leave a comment and we can meet you at the bar/entrance.

DECEMBER'S BOOK - THE DEAD OF WINTER BY NICOLA UPSON. Ideally complete the book before the event, but if you haven’t finished it, you’re welcome to come along anyway. However, we will be discussing the whole book, so there might be some spoilers.

We very much look forward to seeing you there.

Synopsis: December 1938, and storm clouds hover once again over Europe. Josephine Tey and Archie Penrose gather with friends for a Cornish Christmas, but two strange and brutal deaths on St Michael's Mount - and the unexpected arrival of a world famous film star, in need of sanctuary - interrupt the festivities. Cut off by the sea and a relentless blizzard, the hunt for a murderer begins.

Pivoting on a real moment in history, the ninth novel in the 'Josephine Tey' series draws on all the much-loved conventions of the Golden Age Christmas mystery, whilst giving them the contemporary twist which has come to distinguish the books so far.
