Reseña del libro "Murder on a Winter Afternoon: A Completely Addictive Cozy Mystery Novel: 5 (a Melissa Craig Mystery) (en Inglés)"
A snow-covered cottage is nestled in the hills, all ready for Christmas... but inside a body lies dead upon the floor. Melissa Craig is enjoying her first winter in the Cotswolds, taking brisk walks through the snowy fields and basking in the winter sunshine. The only thing Melissa is plotting is her Christmas shopping. But after the unexpected death of local writer Leonora Jewell, Melissa is asked to complete Leonora's final book. However, on her first visit to the cottage, she finds a gruesome object overlooked by the police: a metal bar covered with dried blood. Terrified, Melissa rushes to the nearest telephone box to call the police. But by the time they reach Leonora's cottage, the murder weapon has mysteriously vanished. With no murder weapon, the detective in charge of the case scoffs at Melissa's suspicions. Furious and frustrated, Melissa focuses on finishing Leonora's novel. But as she reads Leonora's notes for the book, she starts to wonder... did Leonora accidentally plot out her own murder? As Melissa does some investigating of her own, she uncovers some pretty suspicious local characters. But with the police unwilling to help, can Melissa solve this vicious crime alone? By hook, by crook, or by the book, Melissa must find the killers before they strike again... If you adore Faith Martin, Joy Ellis and P.D. James, you're in for a treat with this unputdownable mystery novel! This book was previously published as Deadly Legacy.
