Homer Kelly Mysteries (Paperback): The Shortest Day : Murder at the Revels (Paperback)

Langton fans will love curling up in front of a roaring holiday fire with her latest Homer Kelly adventure--a rich Christmas brew spiced with medieval revelry, a romantic rivalry, and a soupcon of murder. Line drawings. It's Christmas in Cambridge - time for the annual Christmas Revels, held each year at Harvard's Memorial Hall - a festival of dance and drama that harks back to ancient midwinter rituals and incantations to drive away the fearful gloom of winter. Like whistling to keep up one's spirits, it's a tradition to send out the old year of darkness and revive the light. But this year, amid the stomp and jingle of Morris dancers, gallant Saint George isn't the only one who gets slain.
