The Secrets of Winter by Nicola Upson
A snowy Christmas gathering on an island off the Cornish coast goes murderously wrong in this festive Golden Age mystery.December 1938, and storm clouds hover once again over Europe. Josephine Tey and Archie Penrose gather with friends for a Cornish Christmas, but two strange and brutal deaths on St. Michael's Mount--and the unexpected arrival of a world famous film star, in need of sanctuary--interrupt the festivities. Cut off by the sea and a relentless blizzard, the hunt for a murderer begins.
Pivoting on a real moment in history, the ninth novel in the Josephine Tey series draws on all the much-loved conventions of the Golden Age Christmas mystery, while giving them the contemporary twist which has come to distinguish the books so far.
Nicola Upson has written five other Josephine Tey mysteries, including An Expert in Murder, as well as two nonfiction titles. She has worked as a freelance journalist and in the theater. She is a recipient of the Arts Council England's Escalator Award and divides her time between Cambridge and Cornwall.
