"‘A light-hearted twisty thriller… Reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel, with a great cast of characters. A real page-turner!’ NetGalley reviewer,

New Year’s Eve, 1962

New Year’s Eve, 1962. As a snowstorm rages outside, Oxford high society gathers to ring in the new year at the city’s most exclusive party. This is a soiree no one will forget… not least because a guest is found dead in his car the next morning.

It seems the young man tragically froze to death overnight after crashing into a snowdrift – but when WPC Trudy Loveday and coroner Clement Ryder are called in to investigate, they discover a tangled web of secrets that plainly points to murder.

With everyone telling different stories about that fateful night, only one thing is clear: several people had reason to want the victim dead.

And if Trudy and Clement don’t find the cracks in each lie, the killer will get away with the perfect crime…

Perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, Richard Osman and Agatha Christie, this mystery will keep you hooked until you’ve solved the case!

‘Absolutely loved it… The characters were some of the best I’ve read in a long time.’ Angela Marsons, no. 1 bestselling author of the Kim Stone series

Readers LOVE Faith Martin! ‘Absolutely perfect! This is the book I have been craving since I last read the Thursday Murder Club series!’

‘Very entertaining… Full of red herrings, plot twists and turns. I thought I knew who was the killer but I was wrong.’

‘I just love this series… Faith Martin is the modern day Agatha Christie, deftly drawing her characters with a couple of lines… A delight as always.’

‘Well written with likeable and credible protagonists… A perfect addition to this excellent series and perhaps the best to date.’

‘I thoroughly enjoyed reading it… Loved the interaction between the two unlikely main characters who complemented each other so very well as they tried to solve the crime.’

‘[This] ""who done it"" is a bit of nostalgia… A great read.’

‘I've enjoyed most of Faith Martin's books but this Fatal series is my clear favourite.’

'This author's books are soothing to the soul. Her characters are likable, and the plots always keep me guessing. Excellent fun.'
