A school reunion at Midwinter ends in death. Could it be related to the unsolved kidnapping that happened there twenty years before? From the popular seasonal mystery writer Ada Moncrieff comes a brand-new Christmas Crime Caper!

THE COSIEST OF CRIMES FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON

A SCHOOL REUNION... A PARTY TO DIE FOR.

December 1937. Daphne King is attending the twentieth anniversary reunion at her secondary school, Midwinter Academy. It is a weekend of resurrected rivalries and alliances. A string of peculiar incidents prompts Daphne to suspect that she and her friends are being sent messages – or warnings – related to the disappearance of a classmate twenty years ago.

It was a mystery which clouded their final year at the school – and one which Daphne, as a budding eighteen-year-old sleuth, solved. But now, the morning after the reunion, another of Daphne's old school friends is found dead; and Daphne finds herself in the role of investigator once more. Are the two cases linked? And has Daphne learned from the mistakes of her past?

Readers LOVE Ada's festive romps:

  • 'Reminds me of PG Wodehouse'
  • 'Compelling and engaging'
  • 'A modern rival to Agatha Christie'
  • 'A festive favourite'
  • 'Loved it'
