A Christmas ghost story - Chronicles of St Mary's style! For fans of Doctor Who and Jasper Fforde...and A Christmas Carol.

Where better for the annual festive jump than the chance to experience a real Victorian Christmas?

On the longest night of 1895, a terrible storm rages above Harewood Hall. Max, Markham and an injured Peterson are welcomed in by the Harewood family but quickly realise that the gathering is far from celebratory. For tonight marks the Ordeal of the Haunted Room.

Every Harewood heir must endure one terrifying night alone in the Haunted Room before he can inherit the family seat. Legend says that ghosts will murder anyone who isn't the true heir.

Francis Harewood's ordeal will begin at midnight and end at dawn, but it isn't long before everything goes horribly wrong....

Great Short Story-- MUCH better than the regular books in the series. This one has none of the super repetitive plot devices that make the last eight books in the series tedious. This one is funny, engaging, and different.

Entertaining

was doubtful of reading because Taylor has become such a downer. BUT truly enjoyed it.

I look forward to the annual St. Mary’s Christmas story. This year’s locked room adventure was a delight with a good plot twist. Zara Ramm narrative enables the characters to come alive. I look forward to each new installment of this series.

Another delicious St Mary’s adventure

As always the team of Taylor and Ramm deliver as perfect a story as you could ask for - combining humor with mystery, drama, and a touch of the supernatural. Ms. Taylor's writing almost never misses the mark, and Ms. Zamm is the best narrator I have had the pleasure of listening to. They both maintain a steady character development through all of the St. Mary's books and stories that make the individuals 'real' people as opposed to fictional and two-dimensional players.

A great Xmas Gift from Ms. Taylor and Ms. Ramm

St. Mary's does it again in its usual quirky fashion. A wonderful story with an exciting whodunit Agatha Christy style. A total delight.

I liked the nod to Agatha Christie and other classic mystery writers in this one. Love Zara Ramm.

Excellent as ever

Great narration by Zara Ramm, as usual. The food and drink descriptions left me ravenous, especially during this pandemic pot-roast quarantine year. Why all the posh Victorians didn’t die young of heart attacks and strokes is amazing! And it wouldn’t have been Christmas without Markham. Thanks Jodi!

Jodi’s Xmas short story is always my best Gift!

I absolutely love this series. Jodi Taylor has hatched the most intriguing characters. She also comes up with the best ideas for stories. However does she do it? Zara Ramm does the narrating so well I can't imagine anyone else doing it. Thank you both and keep on.

absolutely fine!!!!!!
