Snowflakes fall, secrets stir, and a beloved granny vanishes without a trace...

In the heart of Pinewood View, café owner Claire Mitchell is gearing up for the town's Christmas celebrations when a cryptic crossword appears in her tip jar -- and her dear friend Bernice disappears the same day.

With the café buzzing, clues multiplying, and tensions rising between longtime residents, Claire dives into a tangle of old grudges, hidden heirlooms, and whispered confessions. Joined by her best friend Lucy, loyal yellow-labrador Murphy, and the frustratingly charming Detective Jack Sullivan, Claire races through blustery winter nights following crossword clues that seem to know more about Pinewood View's past than anyone ever dared admit.

But when the final clue leads Claire to a hidden truth the town buried decades ago, she realizes someone has been pulling the strings all along -- and unless she solves the last piece of the puzzle, Bernice may not be the only one who disappears this Christmas.
