Description: "It's Christmas Eve at the Emporium, a bespoke gift shop hidden in the depths of London's winding streets, where a select few shoppers are browsing its handcrafted delights. But when they go to leave, they find the doors are locked and it isn't long before they realize this is no innocent mix-up. The shoppers have been trapped here by someone who knows their darkest secrets, someone [who] will stop at nothing until they have all been unwrapped--and there is a gruesome gift waiting in Santa's grotto"--
Brief description: Andreina Cordani is the critically acclaimed author of Murder at the Christmas Emporium and The Twelve Days of Murder. She lives in Dorset.
Review Quotes: "Holiday magic goes horribly wrong in Cordani's delightfully eccentric follow-up to The Twelve Days of Murder. Cordani's plotting is devious and perfectly calibrated, revealing just enough to heighten dramatic irony while leaving plenty of room for shocking twists. This canny combination of whodunit and horror makes for a gleefully demented stocking stuffer."-- "Publishers Weekly"
