Invited by an old friend to visit England, Geneva Pomolo and Iris Reeves spend Christmas in the luxurious Crowley Manor in Brackenshire County. The manor is ruled by the powerful and dreaded matriarch, Maud Crowley. No one in the family is happy, and with the stress of the holidays, Geneva senses trouble brewing... As long-held quarrels build to a boil and family ties are severed, blood is spilled. Trapped in the sprawling estate by an unprecedented snowstorm, Iris and Geneva employ all their wits and sleuthing experience to solve the murder. They interrogate the entire trapped household: Bettina, Maud's long-suffering daughter-in-law; Peter Lighthouse, Maud's accountant; Eric Adair, the jealous and embittered old stable master; Mary, Maud's personal maid; Larry, the butler with dark secrets; and Roger, Maud's ne'er-do-well son. Cut off from the police in unfamiliar terrain with Christmas Day around the corner, Geneva and Iris have only one night to catch the murderer before he or she kills again. The only thing they know for certain is that the suspect is still in the house, and everyone staying there is in mortal danger.
