From the New York Times–bestselling author, a tale of family tensions and foul play at a snowed-in Connecticut country house . . .
Laura and Henry Frazier, David Gates, and Alice Bullowe are in Connecticut for Christmas. The family is staying in a country home Laura inherited from her aunt, Clara, and Alice, also a niece of the late Clara Beame, is more than a little disappointed by the terms of the will.
As an edge of hostility threatens to spoil the party, the drama only grows as manipulative games are played, a blizzard roars outside, a surprise guest arrives—and the holiday turns more scary than merry . . .
“One of the few mysteries where no one at all seems to be off limits as the murderer.” —Dead Yesterday
