Can you find the clues and solve the murder first?

Six people with links to the world of crime writing have been invited to play a game this Christmas by the mysterious Midwinter Trust.

Solve the murder of a fictional crime writer in a remote village in north Yorkshire and win a life-changing prize.

Each guest has been meticulously vetted by the shadowy Trust, which has staff on-hand to make sure everyone plays fair. But with the village about to be cut off by a snow storm, they must be extra vigilant.

The game is set - but playing fair isn't on everyone's Christmas list.

And when the prize is to die for, it's so tempting to inject a little murder into the mystery...

Includes a Cluefinder where you can check the clues you spotted - and missed - as well as puzzles to solve alongside the characters. Perfect for lovers of classic murder mysteries and for fans of Janice Hallett, Alexandra Benedict and Alex Pavesi.
Included in the i newspaper's best new crime and thriller books to read in September 2025.
