Synopsis

There’s little chance for R & R during World War II when you have the reputation of British sleuth Patrick Dawlish.   A Hampshire country inn seems the perfect place to unwind for Captain Patrick Dawlish and his fiancée, Felicity, as World War II rages on. But all play and no work make Dawlish a bored man. Luckily for him, he’s never been able to dodge trouble when foul play is afoot . . .   A man as big as Dawlish rarely goes unnoticed, which appears to be the case when he senses someone watching him. That man is soon murdered by someone wearing Dawlish’s stolen uniform. Instead of a peaceful week away from the Home Defence Army, Dawlish finds himself the prime suspect in a murder. What better way to keep him from investigating what’s really going on? To make matters even more complicated, there’s a guest at the inn under suspicion for being a spy—with ties to Nazi Germany . . .

    ⛸️ The annual Frostfall Festival in the picturesque town of Silver Lake is a beloved tradition, centered around the town's charming outdoor ice rink. But the festive atmosphere freezes over when the rink's owner—a former Olympic skater with a sharp tongue and even sharper rivals—is found dead on the ice after the opening ceremony. The cause: a fatal blow to the head, disguised to look like a tragic skating accident. The prime suspect is the victim's former protégé, now a local coach, who had very public reasons to want her mentor out of the way. To clear her name, she must lace up her investigative skates and navigate a world of cutthroat competition, hidden resentments, and glittering secrets. With help from her enthusiastic husky, Glacier, and the rink's handsome head Zamboni driver, she uncovers a slippery trail of clues. From sabotaged skates and blackmail to a long-buried scandal that someone will kill to keep frozen in the past, the truth is buried just beneath the surface. Can she solve the case before the ice melts and the killer slips away forever?
