The crunch of fresh show under your feet and the promise of hot cocoa by a roaring fire afterwards… But she’s not expecting to find a body in the woods!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s Christmas in Berrywick, the busiest time of year for dashing taxi driver \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLewis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

But when she spies a pendant left in the bushes, she feels certain Lewis’s death was no accident…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the festive lights twinkle in the village square, Julia vows to uncover the truth. She soon learns not everyone found Lewis’s charm appealing.

Lewis recently gave his life savings to a mysterious businessman who proves difficult to track down. But could these be reasons enough to want him dead?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen, local beekeeper \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eMatthew\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is struck by a car near the Christmas market.

Who could possibly want to hurt Berrywick’s kindest man?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith no obvious leads, Julia stumbles upon an old picture that finally links Lewis and Matthew. Many years ago they were in a band poised for stardom, but when the bubble burst, their chance at fame vanished quicker than a glass of festive eggnog. Could someone be targeting the band members one by one? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAnd can Julia track them down before the killer strikes again?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAn utterly gripping and totally charming cozy mystery set in the English countryside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Cozy Book Box","offers":[{"title":"Just the book","offer_id":52584971796777,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Add to bundle","offer_id":52584971829545,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/6794\/6537\/files\/image_a602f8e0-3a78-479a-aefe-4600bd5897f2.jpg?v=1770350219","url":"https:\/\/thecozybookbox.com\/products\/murder-in-the-winter-woods","provider":"The Cozy Book Box ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
