Murder After Christmas
by Rupert Latimer (Macdonald & Co., 1944)
audiobook read by Kris Dyer (Soundings, 2021)
A murder mystery most notable for obfuscating events behind a blanket barrage of affability. All the suspects have blithely joked about doing in Uncle Willie. Latimer plays endlessly with motive and opportunity, meandering up false trails until it all becomes quite tedious.
