Description
Find the clues. Play along. Solve the murder first.
Six down-on-their-luck people with links to the world of crime writing have been invited to play a game this Christmas by the mysterious Midwinter Trust. The challenge seems simple but exciting:
Solve the murder of a fictional crime writer in a remote but wonderfully atmospheric village in north Yorkshire to win a prize that will change your fortunes for good.
Six members of staff from the shadowy Trust are there to make sure everyone plays fair. The contestants have been meticulously vetted but you can never be too careful. And with the village about to be cut off by a snow storm, everyone needs to be extra vigilant. Midwinter can play tricks on people’s minds…
The game is set – but playing fair isn’t on everyone’s Christmas list.
After all, when the prize is to die for, it’s so tempting to inject a little murder into the mystery.

I found this to be a compelling mystery and I was enthralled from the very beginning, I love mysteries and puzzles and this fit both perfectly,
Six book/crime people are invited to Midwinter to play the ultimate murder mystery game with a large cash prize as an incentive, It’s very cloak and dagger with an eclectic mix of staff and invited guests,
Twelve people in all stay at Midwinter and through various perspectives, the story unfolds, Each guest is down on their luck, with little to no family to spend Christmas with and were lured by the chance to get back on their feet.
When one guest is found dead within the first 24 hours, it is deemed an accident…but how many deaths can be ruled accidental with a short space of time?
It was like reading two mysteries as the reader got to play along with the guests the game set for them as wel, as determine whether there is murder afoot!
With plenty of clues towards both and the perspectives of the characters, I found it thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable!
Now that I have been introduced to this author, I will be on the look out for others from him too.
