Join Carolyn for a relaxing afternoon where creativity meets crime—without the bloodstains. 🖌️🔍 As we paint cozy winter ceramics or a wooden winter sign, we’ll sip, snack, and sleuth our way through Miss Winter, in the Library with a Knife by Martin Edwards. This book functions as an interactive puzzle. Six down on their luck, crime writing professionals are invited to a remote village for a Christmas murder mystery game hosted by the mysterious Midwinter Trust, but the game turns deadly when real murders begin to occur. The book is designed to be a "locked-room" mystery with clues embedded throughout the text, allowing readers to solve the puzzles alongside the characters.
