Looking forward to a nice Christmas alone, Susan didn't expect to be solving a murder. 

Meera, a local business woman is in need of some assistance running the castle which was turned into a hotel, where infamous Duncan is coming to stay to show his family the scene of his childhood Christmas. Alongside his grown-up children (Bryson and Hayley) and their partners (Victoria and Lewis), and his new wife Kirsten and the editor of his paper. 

It seems like someone isn't too happy with Duncan, as one morning Kirsten find him dead. It had everything of a murder mystery, with everyone having their own secrets and motives. Robert (he is helping with small maintenance of the hotel) starts questioning about the surroundings after the death of Duncan, which Susan picks up on. 

Police say it was health related, Susan suspects otherwise. Using the book written by Bryson Susan tries to find clues around the hotel to find the killer. 

The story had me guessing the killer till the very end (I was wrong every time). I don't know why but I wouldn't have suspected it to be him. And then learning that he was the one to kill him because his dad was about to write it in his biography of the death of his mother (that she died of a brain tumour and not liver damage). Like damn! And he was the one to hurt his mum because she never gave in when he asked for money and his parents protected him when he hurt his mum.
