    The Necklace of Pearls by Dorothy L Sayers

    "Tinsel, trinkets, and... treachery? At Sir Septimus Shale's grand country house, where Christmas cheer blankets every nook and cranny, a string of precious pearls has vanished faster than a mince pie in a hungry caroler's mouth. Lord Peter Wimsey, our intrepid sleuth, finds himself knee-deep in Yuletide shenanigans and upper-crust eccentricities. As carols echo through holly-decked halls and the aroma of roasting chestnuts fills the air, Wimsey must sort through a cast of characters more colorful than a box of Christmas crackers. Is the culprit lurking behind the Christmas tree, or hiding in plain sight among the festive finery? With wit as sharp as icicles and charm as warm as mulled wine, Wimsey races to solve the mystery before the last log on the fire turns to ash. Grab a cozy blanket and a steaming cup of cocoa – this Christmas puzzle is more delightful than finding an extra gift in your stocking!" ⭐ Join my Patreon ⭐ https://patreon.com/barcud Go here for a library of ad-free stories, a monthly members only story and early access to the regular stories I put out.  You can choose to have ghost stories only, or detective stories or classic literature, or all of them for either $5 or $10 a month.  Many hundreds of hours of stories.
