Twelve tales of murder - each linked to one month on the calendar! From her prize-winning story "Dear George," which begins her murderous year, to the hatred that drives a guilt-ridden woman's Christmastide memories, Ace never lets up. A sociopath plots in an English teashop, a Florentine vendetta threatens a hapless Scottish tourist and a Shakespearian scholar protects his reputation in a most unusual manner! Add a Vancouver criminology Professor with a dark background and a Detective Inspector who finds his wife's insights invaluable, and you've got a book that will keep the reader turning the pages from month to murderous month! "Dear George" was broadcast on BBC's Radio 4 in 2007 (read by Alex Kingston - Dr Corday in TV's hit "ER") and joins eleven other stories crafted by Ace. Ace's style is easy to read - she engages the reader right away...you might never look at a cup of tea or a Yuletide Wreath the same way, but you're going to enjoy reading this book!
