Serving mystery-mad kids a thrilling feast of festive crime fiction, Fleur Hitchcock’s Murder at Wintertide sees a couple of cousins put their heads together to solve a series of murders during a pre-Christmas break.
As soon as George arrives in the house by the sea, he starts joining lots of dots that must be connected. First, a roadside argument. Next the strange lights he witnessed over the cliffs, then a dead body.
After joining forces with his cousin Isla, George makes more vital connections long before the police, though the twist in the tale comes as a huge shock to everyone.
There’s archaeological intrigue and calamity at sea, plus a countdown to Christmas and the birth of a Christmas baby — all of which makes Murder at Wintertide a right royal festive thriller for mystery-loving Middle Grade readers.

About Fleur Hitchcock
Born in Chobham, by an airfield, and raised outside Winchester on the banks of the river Itchen, Fleur Hitchcock grew up as the youngest child of three. She spent her smallest years reading Tintin and Batman under her brother’s bed, and searching for King Alfred’s treasure in the river. She grew up a little, went away to school near Farnham, studied English in Wales, and, for the next twenty years, sold Applied Art in the city of Bath. When her younger child was seven, she embarked on the Writing for Young People MA at Bath Spa and graduated with a distinction.
Now living outside Bath, between parenting and writing, Fleur Hitchcock works with her husband, a toymaker, looks after other people’s gardens and tries to grow vegetables.
