A Midwinter Murder

A Midwinter Murder – A Cozy Mystery Delight! 🎄📚

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin with A Midwinter Murder by Verity Bright? I’m practically bursting to tell you how much I absolutely loved this book! Picture this: it’s winter 1924, and Lady Eleanor Swift finds herself at the grand but mysterious Auldwyke Hall, hosted by the reclusive Duke. She has her heart set on a cozy, festive celebration with her fiancé, the charming detective Hugh Seldon, complete with homemade baubles and reindeer-shaped cookies. But, of course, things take a dramatic turn when a body is discovered! 🎄🕵️‍♀️

The unfortunate Mr. Porritt, the Duke’s secretary, is found dead in a storeroom clutching a golden rose pendant that sends Eleanor's curiosity—and her detective instincts—into overdrive. As she and Hugh navigate through a blizzard and a house full of suspicious guests, each with their own secrets, the tension builds. The stakes are raised even higher when an attempt is made on the Duke’s life. Seriously, the twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat! ❄️🔍

What really made this read special for me was seeing Hugh play such a significant role throughout the story. Finally! I’ve been waiting for this! And of course, it’s always a joy to reunite with our beloved characters who feel like old friends at this point. The atmosphere of Auldwyke Hall was so vivid; I could practically feel the chill of the moors and the warmth of the fireside. 🏰❤️

Verity Bright has crafted a delightful mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. I can’t rave enough about how well everything was tied together—every little detail felt perfectly placed. Honestly, I can’t wait for the next adventure with Eleanor, Hugh, Clifford, and the rest of this fabulous crew! 📚✨

If you’re looking for a cozy mystery to curl up with this winter, look no further than A Midwinter Murder. Trust me, you won’t regret it! ☕️🧣
