Love a country house mystery? Who doesn’t? But usually, the action stays tucked between the pages of your favourite book. Not anymore. Every winter, three families gather in an old house in the country to celebrate the New Year. It’s a time of food, festivity and fun. But this year, Leah and her buddies stumble across a dark secret: the house was the burial ground of a teenage girl who went missing fifty years ago. Forget going a-wassailing. Leah and her friends are (what else?) going a-snooping! But as they dig up the house’s morbid history, scary stuff starts to happen. The victim might be dead and buried, but the danger isn’t…
