In Everpine, the snow covers everything—except the past. When detective Avie Grace Ford returns to her snowy hometown of Everpine five years after her aunt’s unsolved murder, she expects a quiet holiday assignment. Instead, she walks into a chilling scene: a blood-red Christmas tree painted on a family's front door—and a body inside. As the snowfall thickens, so does the mystery. Another family is struck on Christmas Eve, followed by a third on Christmas Day. The murders aren’t random. They're ritualistic. Deliberate. Familiar. And they echo the very case that drove Avie from Everpine years ago. Haunted by grief and driven by instinct, Avie uncovers a pattern buried in the town’s snowy silence—a pattern that ties three families together in a dark holiday tradition. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she senses she’s not just investigating the murders… she's being drawn into them. This isn’t a spree. It’s a ritual. And it’s only just begun. Perfect for fans of atmospheric thrillers like Sharp Objects , The Chestnut Man , and The Silent Patient , Marked in Snow blends chilling holiday tension, psychological depth, and a slow-burning mystery you won’t forget.
