Meet Lilly Tweed – former Agony Aunt, purveyor of fine teas, and accidental sleuth.
Winter has arrived in Plumpton Mallet, and the town is preparing for its most anticipated event of the year: the annual Christmas Market. With twinkling lights, festive stalls, and visitors arriving from across the country, this year's festivities promise to be bigger and brighter than ever.
But not everyone has come to celebrate.
When an unwelcome arrival brings trouble in its wake, the holiday cheer quickly turns dark. Then, on a frosty morning, a lifeless body is discovered outside Lilly’s Tea Emporium.
The arrest of one of her own staff members shocks Lilly to the core – and she refuses to believe they’re capable of murder. Determined to clear their name, Lilly once again steps into the role of sleuth, uncovering secrets someone would rather keep buried.
Because if her employee is innocent, someone else must be guilty… and this winter, the truth may be more dangerous than she ever imagined.
