Dead Winter Bones: A suspenseful British crime mystery set in the Cornish countryside

Ancient bones. A modern murder. And a killer who won't stop until the past is buried for good.

In the dead days between Christmas and New Year, a body turns up on the grounds of Liggan Manor, and Malachite Peck is called in. The lady of the manor swears her family has nothing to do with it--and she wants Mal to prove it. Mal isn't convinced, but with too much time on her hands, she agrees.

What starts as a simple case quickly unravels into a tangle of family secrets, a whispered new will, and a surprising new heir no one saw coming. As generations clash over the sprawling estate, another second body is discovered, and it's clear--a killer is hunting the Liggan heirs one by one.

Now, Malachite is in a race against time. Can she unmask the predator before the entire lineage is wiped out?

Dive into the second book of the Golden Murders series--can you solve the mystery before Mal does?
