Daily Mail

Your new festive fave. . .a dead body stuck up the chimney, a stumped detective, lies, twists, and Meyrick’s renowned storytelling and wit.

My Weekly

Christmas mayhem, mischief and murder – this series has become a staple of the festive period with its brilliant mysteries and razor-sharp wit.

Jonathan Whitelaw

I loved the humour and ambiance of this book. Definitely one to read over the festive holidays.

Faith Martin

Grasby and Juggers are a tremendous pairing who display Denzil Meyrick’s comic talents to the full in this immensely enjoyable Christmas caper set in a wintry Yorkshire seaside town. Scratching below the surface, there is again much to be found that reflects not only on the 1950s, but on our own time. Highly recommended.

S. J. MacLean

A terrific rip-roaring page turner! I very much enjoyed this darkly comic breakneck dash through the dark streets - and even darker secrets - of a North Yorkshire fishing village.

J. M. Hall

An authentic vintage crime laced with dark humour. Frank Grasby is an instant classic detective. Unmissable.

Michael Wood

Outlandish and unpredictable, yet anyone who knows the Yorkshire coast will find it hilarious and all too plausible.

Antony Johnston

An absolute joy to read. Reluctant hero Frank Grasby is back with another thriller that is also light, airy fun. Juggers and the flare gun is worth the cover price alone!

Douglas Skelton

Unabashed comedy…Not many new novels have me laughing aloud these days, but this one did, time and again.

Yorkshire Life

Darkly comic and engaging, this is a Christmas cracker you simply won’t want to put down.

Woman's Weekly

The Christmas Stocking Murders skilfully blends a festive mystery, comedy and even a dash of romance.

Crime Fiction Lover

A laugh-out-loud must for the Christmas stocking for any mystery fan in your life.

Irish Independent

An intriguing, fast-paced story with a likeable central protagonist and an immersive winter setting; a perfect crime read for a chilly December night.

Yorkshire Life

A murderous slapstick.

The Critic

It gallops along at breakneck speed, is playful, and Frank the bungling hero is fabulous.

Scottish Field

'‘Wonderfully irreverent, warm and funny, with twists galore.’
