Publisher's Synopsis
Winter, 1923. It's nearly Christmas and Lady Eleanor Swift has received a rather strange letter from an old friend of her uncle. Mr Godfrey Cunliffe has asked her to stay in Cornwall for the holidays - but only because he believes his gardener is trying to poison him! With not a moment to waste Eleanor hurries down to his picturesque manor house with her butler Clifford and handsome beau Detective Hugh Seldon. Alas, they arrive too late to stop the crime. Eleanor soon realises everyone from the handyman to the housekeeper is keeping secrets - but who really did decide to put a real twist in the tinsel?
