Book Review: *Murder on a Frosty Night* by Verity Bright ❄️📚
Rating: 5-Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh, what a cozy and captivating Christmas treat this book turned out to be! From the moment I laid eyes on the charming cover, I knew *Murder on a Frosty Night* would be a delightful addition to my seasonal reading. Verity Bright has once again crafted a perfect blend of mystery, historical charm, and festive spirit that warms the heart even on the frostiest of winter nights. 🎄🔥
Set in winter 1925, we join Eleanor and Hugh as they prepare to celebrate their very first Christmas as a married couple. The festive cheer is quickly interrupted when their loyal butler, Clifford, arrives bearing an urgent telegram—a lucrative case awaits their fledgling detective agency in one of England’s most remote counties. Without hesitation, along with their trusty bulldog Gladstone, they journey to the tiny hamlet of Yorelow. 🕵️♀️🐾
But this isn’t your typical Christmas gathering—upon arrival, they discover their client, Osmund Unwin, has been found dead just as midnight mass concludes. Now faced with solving the murder of a man they never even met, Eleanor and Hugh find themselves tangled in a web of village secrets and grudges. Is it the enigmatic Frisham sisters, tangled in rumors and love triangles? Or perhaps the sharp-tongued maid with her own motives? And when another body turns up near the old castle ruins, the mystery only deepens. 🕯️🔎
What truly makes this story shine is how effortlessly it blends the holiday atmosphere with an intriguing whodunit. The village’s icy setting and the tension simmering beneath its quaint surface make for an engaging backdrop. Plus, the return of familiar characters like Kofi adds that comforting continuity I adore in this series. I especially enjoyed the moments when Eleanor’s ladies made their way to meet with Hugh and Clifford—such a charming touch! ❄️🏰
Verity Bright’s attention to historical detail is impeccable. I always appreciate how she enriches her stories with fascinating historical notes at the end, and this book is no exception. It gave me a wonderful glimpse into life in 1925 England, adding an extra layer of depth to the mystery. 📜🕰️
All in all, *Murder on a Frosty Night* is exactly the kind of cozy, clever Christmas read I look forward to each year. Perfect for curling up by the fire with a cup of something warm, this book delivers intrigue, heart, and festive spirit in equal measure. Highly recommended for fans of historical mysteries and holiday tales alike! ☕🎁
