She's used to solving crimes, not becoming the prime suspect. Can this amateur sleuth clear her name when a work retreat turns deadly?
Canada, 1986. Miss Riddell is ready for a break. Grateful to be invited to her boss's lodge for a ski getaway, her chance to bond with colleagues takes a hit when an ice storm severs the remote town's power. And after one of the guests is found dead in the snow, Miss Riddell rolls up her sleeves to find the cold-blooded killer...until she's accused of being the murderer.
Confined to her quarters as suspicion runs high, the sharp investigator gets creative to prove her innocence before the police arrive. But with no obvious culprits to interrogate and all fingers pointing at Miss Riddell, she fears she'll end up locked inside four walls forever.
Can this shrewd detective put the right wrists in handcuffs before she's the one slammed behind bars?
The Dead of Winter is the ninth book in the nail-biting Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series. If you like determined protagonists, stealthy felons, and twisty trails of clues, then you'll love P.C. James's chilling investigation.
