Perfect for you if...

You love cosy mysteries with genuine stakes and a protagonist who's learning on the job rather than a seasoned pro.
You appreciate small-town settings where history and current crimes collide in ways that feel personal.
You want a series you can binge without heavy emotional baggage between books.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your mysteries to be puzzle-box tight with every clue visible on the page for fair play detection.
You prefer stand-alone mysteries over series where character development matters more than solving the immediate crime.
You're looking for gritty, violent crime procedurals rather than mysteries that lean into quirk and humour.

About this book

A frozen corpse discovered beneath ice sets off a mystery for private investigator in training Mira James. The dead man, a transient who had been researching local history, had helped rescue Mira and her best friend from a mugging the previous night. His death is ruled no accident, but its cause remains unclear. To uncover what happened, Mira investigates a trail connected to an alleged haunting at a historic museum and a centuries-old tragedy with unresolved consequences. As a killer remains at large during an unusual winter thaw, Mira finds herself in danger. She must stay alert or risk becoming the next victim. This is the ninth book in the Murder by Month Mystery series. This edition includes editorial revisions.
