Set in picturesque Cornwall, this book transports readers to a festive world filled with intriguing characters, a twisty plot, and a charming bulldog named Gladstone.

Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, Eleanor embarks on a journey to Cornwall, accompanied by her loyal butler Clifford and her bulldog Gladstone. However, when they arrive at Mr. Cunliffe's manor house, they find not the intended victim, but the gardener himself dead at the bottom of the cliffs.
As snow blankets the Cornish coast, Eleanor takes it upon herself to investigate the murder. She soon discovers that everyone in the household has something to hide, and she becomes convinced that Mr. Cunliffe is still in grave danger.
