书籍简介

“英国犯罪小说写作的真正大师。”理查德·奥斯曼

“今年圣诞节你需要的所有娱乐。精彩绝伦。”伊恩·摩尔

“从第一页到最后一页都令人愉悦。”《每日邮报》

如果你愿意，可以一起玩！游戏包含一个线索查找器，你可以用它来查看你在过程中发现的——以及错过的——线索……

你能找到线索，率先破获谋杀案吗？

神秘的“仲冬信托”邀请了六位与犯罪小说界有关联的人士，在今年圣诞节参与一场游戏。

在北约克郡一个偏远村庄，侦破一位虚构犯罪小说作家的谋杀案，赢取改变人生的奖品。

每位嘉宾都经过了神秘信托的严格审查，并有工作人员在场，确保每个人都公平竞争。但由于村庄即将被暴风雪切断与外界的联系，他们须格外警惕。

游戏已然开始——但公平竞争并非每个人的圣诞愿望清单上的内容。

当奖品令人垂涎时，在悬疑中加入一点谋杀元素实在是太诱人了……

对于犯罪小说爱好者以及珍妮丝·哈利特、亚历山德拉·本尼迪克特和​​亚历克斯·帕韦西的粉丝来说，这是一份礼物。

被《i》杂志评选为2025年9月犯罪和惊悚小说新书。

Can you find the clues and solve the murder first?

Six people with links to the world of crime writing have been invited to play a game this Christmas by the mysterious Midwinter Trust.

Solve the murder of a fictional crime writer in a remote village in north Yorkshire and win a life-changing prize.

Each guest has been meticulously vetted by the shadowy Trust, which has staff on-hand to make sure everyone plays fair. But with the village about to be cut off by a snow storm, they must be extra vigilant.

The game is set - but playing fair isn't on everyone's Christmas list.

And when the prize is to die for, it's so tempting to inject a little murder into the mystery...

The perfect gift for crime fiction lovers and fans of Janice Hallett, Alexandra Benedict and Alex Pavesi.
