The Vanishing of Dr Winter: A Posie Parker Mystery Series, Book 4 (Unabridged‪)‬

Can the past really come back to haunt you? Posie Parker investigates in her most personal case yet....

Cambridge, December, 1922.


As snow falls silently outside, settling on the spires and turrets of the ancient Cambridge colleges and the dark streets, and the shop windows gleam temptingly with delectable Christmas treats, Posie Parker, Private Detective, has cleared a small space in her hectic schedule to unravel a tragedy which occurred in her very own family.


But with her past hiding around every turn in the old University town, she finds herself unexpectedly taking on a brand new case which is positively teeming with ghosts, shadows, and secrets, where nothing is quite what it seems.

Tasked by the aloof and ethereal Felicity Fyne—a woman with a past of her own—to find out exactly what happened to her husband, Dr William Winter, a brilliant Cambridge doctor who disappeared without trace five years ago, in the war, Posie is forced to confront her own painful memories of the Great War itself.


But just how safe is it really to go digging up the past? What if what you uncover shakes you to your very core? And will Posie get to spend Christmas this year with anyone other than Mr Minks, the office cat, and her own lonely heart for company?


The fourth book in the delightfully classic Posie Parker Mystery Series, this is a twisty Christmas mystery full of intrigue and red herrings, sure to charm fans of Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey, Benedict Brown and T.E. Kinsey.
