What you need to know before your trail

Six people with links to the world of crime writing have been invited to play a game this Christmas by the mysterious Midwinter Trust.

Solve the murder of a fictional crime writer in a remote village in north Yorkshire and win a life-changing prize.

Each guest has been meticulously vetted by the shadowy Trust, which has staff on-hand to make sure everyone plays fair. But with the village about to be cut off by a snow storm, they must be extra vigilant.

The game is set – but playing fair isn’t on everyone’s Christmas list.

And when the prize is to die for, it’s so tempting to inject a little murder into the mystery…

Travel Guide

Midwinter, Yorkshire

There is no village in North Yorkshire called Midwinter sadly but there are a few National Trust properties that it could be! The author mentions code breaking at Bletchley Park near London as being part of the inspiration for the story too.

Find your own Midwinter and take this book with you.
