Murder at Snowfall
Publisher: Nosy Crow
It’s a cold, wintry evening. Ruby and her annoying step-brother Lucas are walking home from school when they spot the abandoned trunk on the roadside. There’s no way it could actually contain a body – is there? But when Lucas dares Ruby to open it, that’s exactly what she finds – and it’s someone she knows, too: her mum’s boss, Dr Price.
Who would want to kill Dr Price and why? Does it have anything to do with the recent break-in at the surgery, or the creepy car that follows them home later that week? Ruby and Lucas are soon caught up in a chilling chain of events as they try to piece everything together. And as they get closer to the truth, it becomes clear that whoever is responsible will do anything to stop the two teenagers from finding them out.
Set on the outskirts of Bath, this atmospheric winter murder mysteryhas plenty of intrigue and page-turning tension. Ideal for readers who love puzzles and crime-solving, it should keep them guessing about who the culprit is right up to the final, icey chase.
