An audio advent calendar of murder, mayhem & mystery

Deadvent Calendar is a seasonal murder mystery told in 24 crimes. It follows the adventure of amateur detective Shilo Coombes and his companion as they try and unravel a sinister plot to murder the unChristmassy - a plot that doesn’t seem very Christmassy itself.

Deadvent Calendar is a comedy murder mystery. There is a lot of killing but its mostly a Sherlock Holmes spoof, or at least a spoof of an absolute idiot who thinks he’s a great detective like Sherlock Holmes. If you stopped and thought about, it’d be quite dark, featuring, as it does, lots of Christmas-themed murders, but it’s generally pretty light-hearted in tone.
