The Mistletoe Murder Club

Roll up, roll up… this year’s Christmas show has a twist you won’t see coming… murder.

When Clio – a former actress and current struggling private detective – manages to score a key role in the town’s Christmas pantomime, she’s secretly delighted. At last, perhaps, her talents will be recognized?

It’s all going dramatically well, until their esteemed director is found murdered on the opening night. And Clio knows it’s up to her to find out who the mistletoe murderer is.

She knows her best chance of capturing the culprit is to bring her best friends Amber and Jeanie into the cast. Even if the best way to sneak them in is to carefully conceal them both in a pantomime cow costume.

But before she can cry ‘he’s behind you’, all of them will be in danger for their lives, as there’s a murderer with only one thing on their mind… to bring the curtain down on the Mistletoe Murder Club. Forever.
