About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A case shrouded in secrets.
It’s just before Christmas, 1953. Grasby and Juggers are investigating a puzzling murder in the remote village of Uthley’s Bay. A fisherman has been found dead on the beach, with a stocking wound tight round his throat.
A festive mystery for one and all.
Hundreds of pairs of stockings, in neat cellophane bags, soon wash up on the shore. A blizzard cuts off Grasby and Juggers from help, and the local innkeeper is murdered. Any remaining Christmas cheer goes up in smoke as the villagers refuse to talk, leaving the two detectives chasing false leads in the snow.
A winter wonderland with no escape.
To make matters worse, Grasby can’t stop thinking about stockings. Why does everyone seem to be enjoying strangely high standards of hosiery, even beneath their oilskins? Who is the sinister bespectacled man snooping around their hotel? And how can they solve the murder when everyone in the village is a suspect?

Densil Meyrick brilliant as usual
Yet another fantastic book from Denzil Meyrick. A gripping murder/thriller and brilliantly funny. Cleverly using language from the era but with connotations connected to today. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Excellent story
Brilliant second book involving Frank Grasby, loved the character development and the relationship between him and his boss, Juggers. Very funny in parts and the use of the language of that time period made me laugh out loud. Really clever book, Denzil Meyrick is a fantastic writer.

Nostalgia and wit with a dash of murder
Excellent story, love that it’s set in my native North Yorkshire. Twists and turns and excellent characters. Seasonal entertainment at its best.

Another Belter. Say I
Loving this series and feel this was slightly better than the first one which was also great. Narrator spot on too. Denzil Meyrick is amazing. Never lets you down with the speed he puts books out, which as fans we appreciate.

Got to love Grasby - says I
An excellent book 2 following Inspector Frank Grasby on another yuletide investigation.
It’s a cracking book and very enjoyable. I giggled at the wit and humour but giggled like a child at the innuendos - especially in one chapter! You’ll have to listen or read it.
Hoping there will be another book to enjoy in the future.
Tom Turner’s narration is spot on

Very entertaining story and brilliantly narrated
So well written and narrated brilliantly which bought it to life, so funny when the inspector takes the gun out of his trousers, was crying and laughing out loud

Gripping murder mystery brilliantly written and narrated with touches of great humour.
I had this on preorder and when it arrived on Audible having read the previous Frank Grasby outing. I wasn’t disappointed . A gripping storyline with some great humour that keeps you engaged to the end . The main character Frank Grasby is likeable and human but also a good detective . Cant wait for the next book !
