The Frank Grasby Mystery series by Denzil Meyrick is a holiday-themed mystery series with three books spanning 2023 to 2027. It opens with Murder at Holly House in 2023, introduces the detective Frank Grasby, and sets up the cozy, festive atmosphere that runs through the series. The Christmas Stocking Murders followed in 2024, with The Mistletoe Wedding Murders scheduled for 2027.
The titles lean into seasonal settings — Holly House, Christmas stockings, mistletoe weddings — placing the murders firmly in the holiday period. This is a genre with a long tradition, and Meyrick (best known for the D.C.I. Daley series) brings a mystery writer’s instincts to the format, built around character Frank Grasby across all three books.
Murder at Holly House is available on Amazon and is the right place to start, introducing Grasby and the recurring elements that carry through into The Christmas Stocking Murders and beyond.
