An English Castle, a smart resourceful young sleuth, and a deadly toast to the new year… Frobisher Castle is the picture-perfect setting for a New Year’s Eve party, promising glitz, glamour, fireworks and champagne for an American publishing company writer’s retreat. But when their star author is shot dead at the stroke of midnight, the celebration takes a dark turn. Castle employee and amateur sleuth, Kitty McCray, is dropped into the murder investigation, like the New Year’s ball in Times Square. Aided by her loyal cat Mittens, Kitty must juggle a reluctant police inspector, quirky characters stranded at the castle by a snow storm, and her budding romance with handsome castle owner, Richard. As an old year fades and a new one begins, Kitty must race against time to find the killer, before the New Year’s toasts turn to tragedy.
