Synopsis from Goodreads:
"In the picturesque village of Kibblesworth, DI Tom Stonem is dreaming of a quiet Christmas alone.
But in the shadow of the Angel of the North, a body lies waiting. The dead man is posed with a child’s Christmas list in his pocket, and the first mysterious item – 1. No angel – is crossed off.
When a second body is found – a woman, stabbed in the abdomen after her work Christmas do – Stonem is convinced there’s a grim connection between the crime scenes and the seemingly innocent list. 2. Red partee dress. Could this be a murderer’s twisted code?
As a blizzard rages in the Tyne & Wear countryside, the body count is snowballing. Can Stonem stop the killer before they get everyone on their Christmas list?"

I haven't read anything by Chris Frost before but after reading the blurb, it definitely sounded like something that would keep me glued to my Kindle for a while and I wasn't disappointed.
This is just what you want for a Christmas read but cozy it is not!! It's dark, full of suspense, twists and turns and has great characters that I certainly became invested in. The ending was cracking and certainly not what I anticipated and this is something I really like in a book.
Overall, a great read that I definitely recommend to those of you who enjoy something a bit darker than the usual Christmas stories and many thanks must go to the author, HarperNorthUK and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this anti-cosy Christmas crime novel.
