The Cold Case - Christa Bakker

Who killed the Woman in the Wine?

It's a question that has haunted the village for over thirty years, but the woman's daughter is convinced I, Julie Belmain, can come up with an answer.

No one cares that I have the worst cold ever. And no one cares - because no one knows - that the daughter's boyfriend is also my old crush. All I want to do is run into his arms... but all he wants is for me to crack an unsolved murder case that's older than I am.

Do I really want to poke my snotty nose into my neighbours' and friends' affairs? When the cold trail heats up in the old hotel I've invested in, I don't have much choice.

Diving into the past brings up shameful secrets and private grudges that send shock waves through the village. No one - including my own mother - can escape the consequences.

If I keep digging into the past, we may end up with another death...
