A treasure to die for?In their most gripping case yet, Freya Lockwood and Aunt Carole are back in a race against time set in the haunting Scottish countryside. The heart-pounding and compelling third instalment in this cosy crime series, perfect for fans of The Celebrity Traitors and Antiques Roadshow, with the suspense and thrill of Knives Out.

A mission to recover stolen art turns dire when one of Freya and Aunt Carole’s team members, Bella, disappears into the shadows of the frozen, snow-tipped and mysterious Scottish hills. And when a discovery of ancient Scottish silverware is linked to the murder of a laird – with their colleague as the prime suspect – the intrigue deepens.

Surrounded by snow and secrecy, they must unravel a cunning plot and find their friend before isolation – or the killer – claims them all.
