| Summary |
Having finished transforming Windy Corner, the grad Victorian mansion she inherited from her great aunt, into a writers' retreat, widowed literature professor Emily Cavanaugh is ready to receiver her first set of guests during Christmas week. But her careful planning is thrown into disarray by the unexpected arrival of outrageous true-crime writer Cruella Crime, whose unpardonable rude behaviour is causing great offence. As a ferocious ice storm rages outside, the guests entertain one another with a game of charades. But their revelries are brought to a sudden halt by the discovery of a body in one of the guest bedrooms. When it transpires the victim was poisoned, Emily decides to take a leaf out of the book of her favourite detective writer, Agatha Christie, and investigate. But as she pursues her enquiries, it becomes chillingly clear that herself may have been the intended victim. |
