Red as any Blood by Sue McCormick

Introducing Holly and Ivy — a sharp, stylish detective duo you’ll adore.
Christmas 1950 by local author Sue McCormick.

Dame Elspeth “Holly” Hollanby, celebrated actress, and her loyal dresser Ivy set off for a festive reunion at Black Gairy, a grand but isolated mansion deep in the Galloway Forest. But among the glittering guests lurks trouble: ruthless press baron Sir Max Coyle has schemed his way into the party.
When a blizzard cuts the house off — no phone, no escape — it isn’t long before murder is on the cards...
With 1950s show business glamour colliding with secrets from the war, Red as any Blood is “a must read” (Lucy Beaumont) and the perfect start to the Holly and Ivy Mysteries.
