Celebrate Christmas with Tony & Kate Hetheridge Tis the season for murder—and Lord & Lady Hetheridge are back on the case. When miserly millionaire Barnaby Galen is found dead in his crumbling mansion, police find two corpses on the scene: the murder victim and the murder weapon. The scene is a macabre spectacle: Galen’s lifeless body is accompanied by a ghastly human skeleton, seemingly ripped from a nightmarish twist on A Christmas Carol . This deadly apparition was rigged to scare him to death—but by who? After a restorative retreat at his country manor, Tony Hetheridge is eager to get back to his job: private detective and consultant to Scotland Yard. His wife Kate, however, is still haunted by their last case’s violent end. In a bid to reignite her investigative passion, Tony teams up with their friend, DI Deepal Bhar, to delve into the dead man’s past. The Scrooge-like miser victim left behind a trail of enemies and a neighborhood brimming with eccentric suspects. Will Kate be able to put the trauma behind her and resume her career at Scotland Yard? Or will Tony and Paul have to go it alone?

This book was full of surprises, and a big one I didn't even see coming." --Tina M., Amazon reader The Lord & Lady Hetheridge cozy mystery series: Book #1, ICE BLUE Book #2, BLUE MURDER Book #3, SOMETHING BLUE Book #4, BLACK & BLUE Book #5, BLUE BLOODED Book #6, BLUE CHRISTMAS Book #7, UNTRUE BLUE First, I'd like to thank all my readers for their kind words, loyalty, and patience. Especially their patience! New readers always ask, "Will there be more Hetheridge—'Blue'—books?" and "What else have you written?"
Will there be more Lord & Lady Hetheridge books? The answer is a resounding yes. I have no plans to end the series. As long as I can write, I'll be writing about Tony and Kate and their friends. It's just that simple. At the moment, I'm writing book #8, which will be called LONDON BLUE. Regarding question two, I'm thrilled to tell you that I have two other series. The first is the Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries . Set during the Second World in my imaginary Cornish village, Birdswing, it's a fun, nostalgic, romantic cozy mystery series. When Dr. Bones is selected to serve his country at home during the war, he becomes adopted by a rural community very different from London. Packed with great characters, entertaining storylines, and complex mysteries, it's a perfect choice for anyone who is waiting (patiently, or impatiently) for another Hetheridge book. I also write the Jem Jago Mysteries , published by Bookouture. Set in the Isles of Scilly, an English archipelago off the coast of Cornwall, it concerns Jemima Jago—librarian, thirty-something singleton, and intrepid amateur sleuth. There are five books in all, and contain some of my funniest scenes. Emma Jameson is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Lord & Lady Hetheridge cozy mystery series. Book #1, ICE BLUE, Book #2, BLUE MURDER, Book #3, SOMETHING BLUE, Book #4, BLACK & BLUE, Book #5, BLUE BLOODED, Book #6, BLUE CHRISTMAS, and Book #7, UNTRUE BLUE, are available now. Her other series are the Jem Jago Mysteries (published by Bookouture) and the Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries. Emma started writing around age seven but didn't find success as a novelist until her early forties. Before the runaway success of ICE BLUE made her a full-time writer, she worked in the Ophthalmology department of a major medical center. Though she was born in Florida and currently lives in Tennessee, she's a lifelong Anglophile who never stops learning about England. In her spare time, she is Head Servant to four cats: Howard the fat tabby, Zahara the imperious purebred grand dame, and Bobby the savvy ex-street cat.
