Publisher Description
Arabella Stewart survived the Great War, but she has not escaped its shadows. Returning to find her family's resort failing and a neighbor dead in the snow, she's determined to prove herself useful again—even if it means working alongside Jax Hastings, the veteran and current constable who once knew her best and now can barely meet her glance.
Jax's job hinges on solving this murder, but the last person he wants help from is Bella. What happened in France puts a stone wall between them, and only he knows why.
As they navigate suspicion, secrets, and a painful past, Bella must decide: can she ever truly come home from war?
Customer Reviews
Interesting and set in a time I’m not as familiar with…
reading about post-World war 1 as the setting for this story, made it very interesting. The characters seem consistent with what I knew of the time along with the behaviors— the environment is almost one of the “characters” in the story. Well done mystery that contrasts the “gut feelings” versus facts in the solution.
