Synopsis

When a murder mystery weekend turns deadly, who do you trust?
Bestselling cozy author Beatrice Bonnie has finished with fiction. To launch her first true crime book, she invites a handpicked group to a remote mountain lodge in North Carolina for a weekend of cocktails, clues, and a staged reenactment of a notorious unsolved murder. The guest list includes the victim's grieving family, two rival true crime podcasters, a sharp-tongued literary critic, and at least one person Bea swears she never invited.
Researcher and historian Elle Cunningham Mackay came for a quiet getaway with her ex-husband Dan. By the end of the first night, one participant is found floating in the hidden lake behind the lodge. As the snow piles up and the roads close, Elle realizes the tragedy was no accident. Everyone at the lodge is hiding something, and the old murder Bea wanted to solve may be closer than anyone imagined.
Cut off from the outside world, the guests begin turning on one another, and the bodies keep piling up. Can Elle separate the performance from the truth before the killer writes her into the final chapter, or will this mystery weekend end with no one left to solve it?
Follow Elle as she investigates Scottish-flavored mysteries with hints of kilts, bagpipes, and the Highlands.
