Holly wreaths, eggnog by a roaring fire and... A body by the Christmas tree? Opal Laplume is on the case! December 1934. Spending the holidays in a Scottish castle has made Opal Laplume's festive wishes come true. Sir Seamus' Christmas Eve ball is legendary, and Opal dons her finest gown for an exquisite night of bubbles, baubles, and tartan kilts. But the festivities come to a screeching halt when their gracious host is electrocuted by some faulty Christmas lights. The mood soon turns from festive to frosty when Opal discovers that what seemed like a tragic accident was in fact a deadly sabotage. Everyone has something to hide. Sir Seamus' marriage was crumbling like a piece of Scottish shortbread. Did his wife take 'til death do us part' too far? The butler was promised a large sum from Sir Seamus' will. Did he want an early Christmas bonus? And who is the ghostly figure playing bagpipes in the tower at night? Just as the killer proves as difficult to find as the Loch Ness Monster, one of the guests is found smothered in their bedroom. Opal soon discovers Sir Seamus was hiding a deadly secret on a small island off the rugged Scottish coast. Can she find the key to the mystery there, before the entire party perishes? Or will this Christmas be her last? An addictive and twisty Golden Age murder mystery set in the Scottish Highlands. Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Verity Bright won't be able to put this down! Readers love Millicent Binks: '5 Stars!!! I now have another favorite mystery author!...
