It’s deep midwinter, but Marjorie Swallow isn’t going home for Christmas.
In Ashwick Castle, Lord Ashwick lies dead — murdered in his study on Midwinter Eve. The police have arrested Marjorie’s best friend’s cousin, certain they have their man. But Marjorie is sure they’re wrong.
Boarding the Flying Scotsman to Northumberland, Marjorie finds a castle on the edge of the north sea steeped in secrets: hidden passages, restless ghosts, and a forbidden love affair. With snow falling and time running out, Marjorie must use all her wit and nerve to catch a killer — before an innocent man hangs for a crime he didn’t commit.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Golden Age detective fiction, The Midwinter Murder is the seventh gripping case for irresistible sleuth Marjorie Swallow.
