Candles, Concoctions & Confessions

By Fran Heap

Valentine's Day in Willowcroft is usually sweet.

Unless you're single and storm-locked at a murder mystery weekend that just turned real.

Tammy Rumbelow, her friends and Lockie the cat arrive at Hollowell House for a theatrical Valentine's event based on the hit Waves of Willowcroft radio show. A gothic manor. A savage storm. A host with a talent for provoking every guest in the room. And a blackout that swallows the house whole.

When Adrian Hollowell is found dead by the hearth, the script stops. Or does it?

No phones. No power. No way out. Just candlelight, a houseful of suspects and a killer in the room.

Tammy has solved puzzles before, but not with everyone she loves trapped in the house with the murderer.

Is it the couple with trembling hands, the influencer scribbling notes, the guest without a booking, the suspicious latecomer, or the hostess guarding a family legacy that's starting to crack?

The final act is still to come.

Perfect for fans of classic locked-in mysteries, found-family sleuths, and twists that snap like thunder.
