The latest Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter mystery

Snow has draped a woolly shawl over Near Sawrey, where Miss Beatrix Potter has retreated to her country house. But the quiet snowfall belies the buzz below its surface, where Mr. Wickstead has met his death under a tree limb.

 

As often happens, the town’s animals know more than the Big Folk. Actually, Wickstead was not alone; Pickles, his fox terrier, stood by his side, later running to get help. Only Pickles knows what happened, although Bailey Badger, the animals at The Brockery, and the local dragon know important bits, too. Although she’s enlisted the help of her furry friends, Miss Potter still wonders if she’ll ever make heads or tails of it all...
