What you need to know before your trail

Handsome Spear proposes marriage and Ursula Smart suddenly has a glimpse of the sort of happy life she had never imagined for herself. Beginning with a small winter wedding, on the edge of a secluded, frozen lake, away from it all.

But trouble is never far from the Smart women, especially when the atmosphere is already so frosty.

Tensions start rising as soon as they arrive and it’s not just Ursula’s mother Pandora getting cabin fever.

Poisoning. Stabbing. A mysterious disappearance. Who’s targeting the wedding party?

Then on a midnight jaunt, Ursula sees a face trapped under the ice, eyes staring in frozen horror. And her happy future begins to fall apart.

Weddings should be joyous occasions. But there’s a murderer at this one.

Travel Guide

The Arctic Circle

The book is set in Finland, in the Arctic Circle. The specific location is fictional as the author didn’t want to be insulting to anyone! However, she visited the area where they fly into at the beginning and the entire region around Rovaniemi airport and  Santa Claus village inspired the novel:

Santa Park is the real life park where you can go to visit Santa.

Most of the locations are fictional but in and around this area. Be sure to spot Mokkis – small cottages that take people back to a simpler way of living. A good place for a (fictional) murder!
