An unexpected romance wrapped in a cosy Christmas mystery.
Phoebe Perry has enough to keep her busy at the local infant school without scandalous murals appearing around town, the mayor becoming involved, or half of King’s Reach deciding they know who is responsible.
Then George arrives.
He is only meant to be a temporary supply teacher, but he quickly becomes part of school life, Phoebe’s fellow detective in the mural mystery, and rather more of a distraction than she had planned. As Christmas approaches and snow settles over King’s Reach, clues begin to connect, suspicions shift, and the town’s festive preparations become tangled up with a secret nobody seems quite able to solve.
And somewhere between following clues, sharing evenings at The Mariner’s Rest and surviving the school nativity, Phoebe begins to realise that what is growing between her and George may be harder to ignore than the mystery itself.
A cosy Christmas romance and mystery set in King’s Reach, full of festive charm, community spirit and secrets on the Norfolk coast. Perfect fireside reading for fans of Jenny Colgan, Sarah Morgan and Phillipa Ashley.
