Mr B's Christmas Catalogue Review
This suspenseful mystery follows football mad, budding actress Ingrid who accidently leaves her favourite football boots behind at the scene of a murder. Struggling to get the police to arrest the real culprit the rebellious Ingrid scrabbles around for evidence without wanting to admit she’s seen the victim. One of Stephen King’s favourite books and full of red herrings and humour I’m sure it will be a big hit with budding Miss Marples and Columbos in need of inspiration.
