**Can you find the clues and solve the murder first?**  
  
Six people with links to the world of crime writing have been invited to play a game this Christmas by the mysterious Midwinter Trust.  
  
Solve the murder of a fictional crime writer in a remote village in north Yorkshire and win a life-changing prize.  
  
Each guest has been meticulously vetted by the shadowy Trust, which has staff on-hand to make sure everyone plays fair. But with the village about to be cut off by a snow storm, they must be extra vigilant.  
  
The game is set - but playing fair isn't on everyone's Christmas list.  
  
And when the prize is to die for, it's so tempting to inject a little murder into the mystery...
