Author:
A mysterious bookshop visitor dies under murderous circumstances, compelling the Christie sisters and their cat, Agatha, to call on all they've learned about solving mysteries from their favorite novelist. Ellie Christie is thrilled to begin a new chapter. She's recently returned to her tiny Colorado hometown to run her family's historic bookshop with her elder sister, Meg, and their beloved cat, Agatha. Perched in a Swiss-style hamlet accessible by ski gondola and a twisty mountain road, the Book Chalet is a famed bibliophile destination known for its maze of shelves and relaxing reading lounge. At least, until trouble blows in with a wintry whiteout. A man is found dead on the gondola, and a rockslide throws the town into lockdown - no one in, no one out.
'One of my all-time favorite fun mysteries' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'It's perfect for curling up by the fire or under a blanket with a hot drink' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'So much fun! Loved it!!!!!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Ellie Christie is more than ready for a new chapter. She's always dreamed of running her family's historic bookshop, the Book Chalet, with her sister Meg, and after the last few years, returning to Last Word - a peaceful, Swiss-style hamlet nestled in the Colorado mountains and accessible only by ski gondola - seems like the perfect solution.
And it is, until a deadly blizzard blows through, and a man is found dead on the gondola. Conditions worsen as the police open their investigation, and soon the town is left stranded with a murderer in their midst.
Ellie and Meg may not actually be related to their favourite novelist, but they do know a lot about solving mysteries and when the police start to close in on their friends, the Christies decide to act before the killer turns the page one last time . . .
Cosy up and escape to the Colorado mountains in this witty, addictive and unputdownable series debut. Fans of Agatha Christie, Victoria Walters and Fiona Leitch will be hooked from the very first page.
