Christmas books

[Feckinlego]

Any recommendations? All I can seem to find is Christmas at the cafe/bookshop type books. Something slightly grittier is what I'm after.

I started a thread about this a few weeks ago and there are quite a few recommendations on that. I'm not sure how to link it for you though.....

Hopefully this has worked....

I have a crime type one called Secret Santa to read. Last year I enjoyed The Christmas Killer by (I think) Alex Pine.

Thank you both, great recommendations and exactly what I'm looking for.

Prudence by Jilly Copper was recommended on another thread and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I've not read one of her novels before and found it entertaining.
