Snow is falling on Marigold Cove, the Holiday Market is glowing, and the whole valley has turned out to watch the beloved winter benefactor light the Christmas tree - just as he has for twenty years. He raises his silver flask. He drinks. The lights come on.
By morning he is dead in the snow beneath his own tree, and the worst blizzard in fifty years has cut the road, the power, and the phones. No police. No help. No way out.
Chef-turned-shopkeeper Juliet Hart is trapped inside a snowbound town with four hundred frightened neighbours - and one of them is a murderer.
But this time is different. This time the victim was good. This time the killer is someone Jules cannot bear to catch. And this time she is seven days from her wedding, holding a key to a secret that a very patient, very respectable, silver-haired gentleman has been protecting for sixty years.
He told her winter was when he tidies up.
He wasn't lying.
Frost and Foul Play is the fourth book in The Lavender Hollow Mysteries - a clean, cozy whodunit series set in a lavender-scented coastal town full of secrets, shortbread, and one dog who's never wrong.
Perfect for readers who love:
- A snowbound locked-room mystery in a whole sealed town
- A fair-play puzzle played honest to the very last page
- A killer you'll be sorry to see caught
- A slow-burn romance and a wedding you will not see coming
- No gore, no graphic content - just clever, comforting, page-turning suspense
Can be read on its own - but the secret running under all four books pays off best in order.
One-click and come back to Marigold Cove. Mind the cold.
