  ❄️ Winter enthusiast and coffee shop owner Hazel Frost is hosting the annual Snowflake Festival in her cozy mountain town when a prominent local businessman is found impaled by a giant icicle outside her café. The police write it off as a tragic winter accident, but Hazel's sharp eyes catch details that suggest otherwise—the icicle was perfectly positioned to fall, and the victim had just threatened to sell half the town to a resort developer. With a blizzard trapping everyone in town, Hazel teams up with the handsome new meteorologist and her loyal golden retriever to investigate. Using her knowledge of winter weather patterns and small-town dynamics, she uncovers a web of frozen grudges and cold-hearted schemes. From sabotaged heating systems to mysterious footprints in the snow, every clue brings her closer to a killer who's as cold as the winter storm. But as the temperature plummets, Hazel realizes the killer is still among them—and the next victim might be left out in the cold permanently.

The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1903 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget.Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are visited by "the unhappy John Hector McFarlane", a young lawyer from Blackheath who has been accused of murdering one of his clients, a builder called Jonas Oldacre. McFarlane explains to Holmes that Oldacre had come to his office only a day earlier and asked him to draw up his will in legal language. McFarlane saw, to his surprise, that Oldacre was making him the sole beneficiary and even heir to a considerable bequest, and McFarlane cannot imagine why Oldacre would do so. That business took McFarlane to Oldacre's house in Lower Norwood, where some documents had to be examined for legal purposes. They had been kept in the safe, where the murder allegedly took place. McFarlane left quite late and stayed at a local inn. He claims to have read about the murder in the newspaper the next morning on the train. The paper said quite clearly that the police were looking for him.The evidence against the young McFarlane is quite damning. His stick has been found in Oldacre's room, and a fire was extinguished just outside in which a pile of dry timber burnt to ashes, complete with the smell of burnt flesh...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
