Description

One crown of mistletoe. One body on the chapel steps. And a Christmas mystery no one saw coming.

The Mistletoe Procession in Little Firling is meant to be a highlight of the season—mulled cider, candlelit carols, and the comforting rhythm of age-old traditions. But when Agnes Thorne, the village's revered folklorist, is found frozen on the chapel steps, her mistletoe crown still in hand, Christmas turns chilling.

Most call it a tragic accident—just a frail woman caught in the cold. But Annabel Lennox Deighton, her outspoken best friend Evie, and the ever-suspicious Persephone the cat aren't so sure.

Why was Agnes alone that night?
What was she about to reveal?
And why does a child's innocent comment rattle the village's oldest families?

As snow blankets the village and secrets swirl like frost on windows, the trio begins untangling a web of rituals, regrets, and one name that should've stayed buried. Because in Little Firling, even Christmas cheer can't cover up murder.

Featuring:

A haunting death during a sacred tradition Hidden village history wrapped in tinsel Clues in carols, cider cups, and childhood tales A cat who hates snow but loves uncovering secrets

Perfect for fans of festive cozies, slow-burn whodunnits, and sleuths who know that even during the holidays, the past is never truly past.
