One Christmas night - Hayley Webster

'This is such a perfect read for the time of year' - JENNY COLGAN

'Combines love, crime, friendship and family with the very best festive spirit. One Christmas Night is a heartfelt page-turner I will find hard to forget.' - AJ PEARCE, bsetselling author of Dear Mrs. Bird

Nine lives. One street. And a secret behind every door.

Christmas is ruined on Newbury Street, Norwich.

Presents have been going missing from resident's homes. There are rumours going around that it's one of their own who's been stealing from the neighbours. Festive spirit is being replaced with suspicion and the inhabitants of Newbury Street don't know who to trust. The police presence isn't helping matters, especially when they all have something to hide.

But Christmas is a time for miracles... and if they open themselves up to hope and look out for each other, they might discover the biggest miracle of all.

An uplifting novel about love, friendship, connection and community, for readers who love Joanna Cannon, Ruth Hogan and Libby Page.

Kind, compassionate, wonderful

The perfect Christmas mystery, very real characters I recognised, gorgeous cat, heartbreaking at times and happy too, never overly-sentimental but my, I did sob at the ending. And then cheered at quite a lot.

One Christmas Night is just perfect. I read it at every chance I got, falling in love with Newbury Street and its inhabitants more and more with every chapter. Generous and witty, shining a light on darkness but never losing heart. As heartwarming as a roaring fire, this book moved me more than any other I can remember in recent years.
