An Art Deco book cover featuring a slim, charmingly clumsy detective in a slightly rumpled yet elegant 1920s outfit—a tailored navy trench coat, scarf askew, and a tilted cloche hat with a holly sprig. He’s crouched over a dropped meringue, inspecting it with a magnifying glass while trying to balance his notepad and accidentally stepping on a string of Christmas lights. A snowy London street frames the background, with warm lamplight casting soft shadows. Bold Art Deco fonts in gold and festive accents, like mistletoe and geometric borders, complete the scene. Art Deco typography with the title "Christmas Meringue and Murder" and a festive border complete the look.
