One book came into my house last week. It is a new mystery set in the Cotswolds in England. It looks terrific and I plan to get right to it, even though I normally let books percolate on my TBRF shelves for years.
Cold by Stella Cameron. This is the first book in a new series of English mysteries featuring Alex Duggins. I haven't read Cameron's other books, but the description of this one has everything I like.
PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION
You can't outrun the past... ...and tripping over a frosted corpse is a complication that could destroy Alex Duggins' attempt to restart her life. The discovery of a murder victim threatens to unearth some old secrets, including her own. As the tiny town of Folly-on-Weir braces for a chilling winter and snow blankets Britain's Cotswold Hills, a killer faces a deadline. A terrible crime was believed to be safely hidden, but time and conscience can wear on a secret. The clock ticks and with the police breathing down her neck, Alex knows she's at the top of the suspect list. Desperate to clear her name and find the real murderer she begins to peel back the layers of deception that have long-concealed one of the town's darkest secrets. But time is also running out for a killer who has nothing left to lose. What's one more murder? Someone intends that Alex will be the next snow-covered body found in the beautiful hills above the town.
