As Christmas draws near, Simmy Henderson is invited to a party in Glenridding at the heart of the Lake District. However, the festivities are overshadowed by two alarming discoveries: a man's body in the beck above the village and a vulnerable newborn baby, apparently abandoned by its mother.
Caught in the hidden tensions of Glenridding's inhabitants, Simmy is drawn into the investigation. The season of goodwill has been eclipsed by far darker emotions and a murderer must be found .
A compelling Christmas addition to the popular series following florist and sleuth Simmy Henderson. A must-read for fans of MC Beaton and Carola Dunn. Tope is a go-to author for cosy crime fiction with an atmospheric setting, whether in the Cotswolds, the West Country or, with this latest instalment, the stunning Lake District.
