Christmas in Crucible is looking merry and bright…until murder sends a chill through town.

Hazel Wickbury is ready for twinkling lights, family traditions, and a little peace on earth. But when a snowstorm sweeps through Crucible and she finds a dead body behind A Wick in Time, the season takes a frosty turn.

For Hazel's aunt Poppy, the mystery is personal. After the strange loss of her whim, Poppy is determined to prove she can still protect the town. Hazel will do anything to help her beloved bestie find her spark again, even if it means getting swept into another murder investigation.

Their clues lead straight to Crucible's local health clinic, where workplace grudges, juicy secrets, and icy resentments are piling up faster than snowdrifts. Was the victim killed to silence a scandal? Or is something far more sinister hiding beneath the waiting room wallpaper?

With a blizzard bearing down and suspects frosting over, the Glenmyre Girls will need every ounce of charm, courage, and cleverness to crack the case before the killer gets away scot-freeze.

Return to Crucible for a Christmastime caper where the snow is deep, the secrets are buried, and murder burns brighter than a holiday spice candle.
