Here’s the set-up:

It’s the holiday season in Dickens Junction, Oregon. Local bookstore owner Simon Alastair is getting ready for the community’s annual celebration of Charles Dickens’s well-known story. But when a mysterious stranger shows up in the Junction and is murdered hours later, Simon begins to suspect that his little community has been targeted for destruction by a shadowy organization. With the support of Zach, a dashing young magazine reporter, Simon decides to investigate the crime himself. When a second murder follows, Simon must confront the worst questions of all: which of his friends and business associates is a ruthless murderer? And why is everyone suddenly reading Ayn Rand?

Reviews

“[The Christmas Carol Murders] is full of love for books…readers will eat it up. Full of homespun characters and curious goings-on, Lord’s mystery is a love letter to both Dickens and to the small town amateur detectives who’ve kept the peace in hamlets from River Heights to Cabot Cove.” – Chelsea Cain, New York Times best-selling thriller writer

“A delicious romp through the world of Dickens wonderfully imagined in the 21st century by Christopher Lord. The Christmas Carol Murders has it all: mystery, eccentric characters galore and a touch of frivolity. You don’t have to be a Dickens fan to fall in love…” – Margaret Coel, New York Times bestselling author of Buffalo Bill’s Dead

“…a different, yet delightful, type of cozy mystery…coupling old fashioned values with au courant perspectives and literary interests…The Christmas Carol Murders is one treat you won’t need to beg for! Just go out and get it or gift wrap it up for a friend!” – Audrey Lawrence, Fresh Fiction

“Lord [brings] this story to life in an old fashioned kind of way with a modern day twist…The murders were tastefully done…[Lord] had me guessing to the very end…Mr. Lord writes with passion, pulling you into the story, not letting you go until the end, leaving you wanting more. I say he has a hit on his hands. ” – Robin, Romancing the Book

“Readers will appreciate the many literary references in this debut mystery and will look forward to future outings with Simon and Zach.” – Library Journal

About The Author

I have been a Dickens fanatic since I read Our Mutual Friend at age fourteen; I also love classic cozy mysteries. A native of Astoria, Oregon, I now live in Portland with my partner of twenty years and our Devon Rex, who bears a strong resemblance to Simon’s Miss Tox. In future Dickens Junction mysteries I promise even more juicy and unusual ways for characters to meet their unfortunate ends.

The second Dickens Junction mystery, The Edwin Drood Murders, will be published late summer/early fall 2013.
