Inhaltsangabe

She came to Alaska for peace. Her cat found a killer. Retired schoolteacher Margaret "Maggie" Calloway thought she was done with surprises. After leaving behind her busy Ohio life, she moved to remote Frosthaven, Alaska, hoping for quiet mornings, snowy mountain views, and a cozy cabin where she could finally breathe. With her enormous, opinionated cat Kodiak by her side, Maggie planned to spend her days reading by the fire, baking when the mood struck, and enjoying the breathtaking wilderness that had always called to her heart. But Frosthaven has other plans. On the morning of the first big snowfall, Kodiak bolts from the cabin with the determination of a cat on a mission. Maggie follows him through the glittering white woods to Frosthaven Lake, where she makes a horrifying discovery beneath the newly frozen surface: the body of Earl Benton, the beloved local fish hatchery owner, trapped under the ice. The sheriff is quick to call it a tragic accident. A slippery dock. A cold lake. A terrible bit of bad luck. But Maggie has spent a lifetime noticing details others miss, and one thing doesn't sit right with her. Earl's boots are bone dry. He didn't fall in. He was placed there. Suddenly, Maggie's peaceful new life turns into a chilling mystery filled with secrets the town would rather keep buried. Over steaming mugs of diner coffee, inside dusty archives, and between conversations with tight-lipped neighbors, Maggie begins uncovering old grudges, suspicious land disputes, family betrayals, and a missing deed that could be worth a fortune. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous Frosthaven becomes. Everyone seems to have loved Earl-but nearly everyone had a reason to want him gone. When a blizzard seals the town off from the outside world, Maggie realizes the killer isn't some stranger passing through. Whoever murdered Earl is trapped in Frosthaven with everyone else...and they know Maggie is getting close. With 300 suspects snowed in, clues disappearing beneath fresh powder, and Kodiak sniffing out trouble at every turn, Maggie must solve the case before the storm clears-or before the killer decides one frozen body under the ice isn't enough. Perfect for readers who love clean cozy mysteries, snowy small-town settings, clever older sleuths, quirky animal companions, and murder served with a hot cup of coffee by the fire.
