A snowstorm. A country house. Old friends reunited. It's going to
be murder... Torben Helle - art historian, Danish ex-pat and owner
of several excellent Scandinavian jumpers - finds himself dragged
to a remote snowbound Northumbrian mansion for a ten-year reunion
with old university friends. At the dinner table their host, a
reclusive and irritating tech entrepreneur, makes some shocking
revelations. And when these are followed by an apparent suicide,
the group faces a test of their wits... and their trust. Snowed in
and cut off, surrounded by enigmatic housekeepers and off-duty
police inspectors, not to mention a peculiar last will and
testament, suspicion and sarcasm quickly turn to panic. Kept afloat
by strong drink and stronger women, Torben must draw upon the
skills of his training and all the tricks of Golden Age detectives
past. As the temperature drops and the tension mounts, it is up to
him to work out how much money it would take to turn one of his old
friends into a murderer - before someone else ends up dead. This
witty murder mystery puts a modern spin on the classic country
house whodunnit. A must-read for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard
Osman and Janice Hallett.
