Angel delight – crossed off. When a second body is found – a woman, stabbed in the abdomen after her work Christmas do – Stonem can’t help but notice a grim connection between the crime scenes and the items on the seemingly innocent list. 2. Red party dress. Could this be a murderer’s twisted code? As a blizzard rages outside, the body count is snowballing. Can Stonem stop the killer before he gets everyone on his Christmas list?
