Murder at the Christmas Emporium

“A handful of lucky people have been invited to a Christmas Eve shopping party, an old fashioned store in London specializing in gorgeous handcrafted toys. Imagine their dismay when it turns out that what they’ve signed up for is not a lovely evening, but Murder in the Christmas Emporium. Cordani is an expert at misdirection. She leads you in one direction and then, slamming the door in your face, sends you down another path entirely.”–Sarah Lyall, The New York Times Book Review

In this brilliant follow up to  The Twelve Days of Murder, a group of Christmas shoppers discover the doors have been locked and that they’ve been trapped by someone who knows their darkest secrets.

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 will stop at nothing until they have all been unwrapped–and there is a gruesome gift waiting in Santa’s grotto . . .

For those that survive the night, it will be a Christmas to remember.
