The Midwinter Murder (paperback)

December 1925, deep midwinter. Lord Ashwick has been found murdered in his study at Ashwick Castle, and the police have made an arrest. But private detective Marjorie Swallow is sure they have the wrong man.

Boarding the Flying Scotsman to Northumberland, she finds a castle on the edge of the North Sea steeped in secrets: hidden passages, restless ghosts and a forbidden love affair.

The closer she gets to the killer, the more perilous her task becomes. Will she unravel the mystery and still make it home for a happy Christmas?

The Midwinter Murder is a twist-filled cosy mystery in the Golden Age tradition.
