A school reunion at Midwinter ends in death. Could it be related to the unsolved kidnapping that happened there twenty years before? From the popular seasonal mystery writer Ada Moncrieff comes a brand-new Christmas Crime Caper!

A SCHOOL REUNION... A PARTY TO DIE FOR.

December 1937. Daphne King is attending the twentieth anniversary reunion at her secondary
school, Midwinter Academy. It is a weekend of resurrected rivalries and alliances. A string of peculiar incidents prompts Daphne to suspect that she and her friends are being sent messages - or warnings - related to the disappearance of a classmate twenty years ago.

It was a mystery which clouded their final year at the school - and one which Daphne, as a budding
eighteen-year-old sleuth, solved. But now, the morning after the reunion, another of Daphne's old school friends is found dead; and Daphne finds herself in the role of investigator once more. Are the two cases linked? And has Daphne learned from the mistakes of her past?
