About this ebook

A spirited stocking stuffer for fans craving a taste of Ruth Galloway in their holiday season. It is three days before Christmas and a bitter wind is blowing across Norfolk. 
 Until her daughter was born, forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway didn’t do Christmas, but now that Kate is a year old, she wants it to be special.
 She must get a tree, shop for food, clean the house, buy presents, including one for her new boyfriend—who she isn’t even sure is her boyfriend—and remember to get the turkey out of the freezer.
 But time is rushing by and the best-laid plans don’t always work out …

Ratings and reviews

Having read all of Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway books, I've come to feel as if I know her characters personally. Finding this Christmas tree story was like getting a Christmas present myself. Griffiths' characters, and stories, are well-rounded, thoughtfully created and always interesting. This story, while complete, was much too short. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I have been reading them on my eReader, but they are so good that I also buy the hard copy.

great read,as with all Dr Ruth's books so hard to put down till it's finished

a perfect modern Xmas short story.
