Hi Kim,
Sorry, it kept slipping my mind to respond to your message. Because others here
might be interested, below is the list of other books by Mary Kelly given in
the ppreliminaries of The Christmas Egg:
MARCH TO THE GALLOWS
DUE TO A DEATH
THE SPOILT KILL
DEAD MAN'S RIDDLE
A COLD COMING
Bookshare doesn't have any of these. They do have a book set in Ireland called
Galway Bay by someone named Mary Kelly, but I don't think it's the same person.
Lissi has ordered one of these others, but I didn't get the name.

Does anybody know if Mary Kelly wrote more than that one book The Christmas
Egg? I think I had it in Braille once but didn't finish it. Regards, Kim.

Lissi forgot one Christmas book from her list.
It is:
The Christmas Egg: A Rinehart Suspense Novel
by Mary Kelly
Here's the synopsis from the inside flaps:
In a dingy one-room apartment in London, old Princess Karukhina lies dead
amid the squalor in which she lived. She had fled from Russia in the fearsome
days of the Revolution, and had lived in obscurity and poverty with the one
member of her family who remained alive, her grandson, Ivan. Now death brings
her to the attention of Inspector Nightingale and Sergeant Beddoes of Scotland
Yard.
Very soon the Inspector begins to realize that the Princess did not die of
natural causes. Her grandson is unaccountably missing, and the trunkful of
magnificent jewels that she kept under her bed is empty. In particular, the
fabulous Fabergé egg is gone, that most beautiful and valuable of the Princess'
possessions.
As Inspector Nightingale pursues his investigation, he learns the intimate
history of a royal house; he ferrets out the existence of some rare opera
recordings of great value; and he meets a beautiful but strange young shop girl
whose part in Princess Karukhina's death must be uncovered.
With a background of the fabulously wealthy white Russian community and the
decline and fall of an empire, Inspector Nightingale and Sergeant Beddoes
uncover theft, double-dealing, and murder--and the tradition that contributed
to the dignity of a royal family.
