Perfect for you if...

You love cosy British crime mysteries with a strong procedural backbone and a detective you genuinely want to spend time with.
You appreciate atmospheric settings where the location feels like a character itself, especially historical cities with hidden depths.
You're looking for a book that can stand alone but rewards readers who've followed the series, with intelligent plotting that doesn't rush its reveals.

Maybe not for you if...

You need high-octane action and breakneck pacing. this is methodical detective work, not a thriller.
You prefer dark, gritty procedurals over the gentler pace of cosy mysteries.
You want a festive Christmas read that stays lighthearted. two bodies in Yorkshire winter darkness isn't exactly cheerful.

About this book

In York during winter, snow covers the cobbled streets as tourists visit the Christmas markets. DCI Oldroyd's evening on a ghost tour becomes a murder investigation when the tour guide discovers the body of Henry Marlow, a local landlord, in a derelict building doorway. Oldroyd identifies multiple suspects, including Marlow's ex-wife, angry tenants, and the tour guide who knows the city's secret passages. When a second body is found near the ancient cathedral, the investigation intensifies. Oldroyd must work to uncover the connections between the crimes and identify the killer before more deaths occur during the approaching holiday season.
