Blue Lake is covered in snow on a dark December night, but something is amiss. In this cozy Christmas short story, Lena London and Camilla Graham (from the best-selling Writer’s Apprentice mysteries) are on hand to help solve the disappearance of a Blue Lake girl. In order to bring the lost teen home safely, they must work together with their squad of friends to piece together a puzzle. As usual, a cat, two dogs, two policemen, and many colorful locals make an appearance in this cozy Christmas tale.
Kirkus Reviews called the Writer’s Apprentice mysteries “pleasantly old-fashioned,” while the Midwest Book Review finds them “deftly written” by “an accomplished master of the genre.”
