About The Winter Visitor: A completely gripping and totally unputdownable crime thriller

The perfect family Christmas. The perfect murder… In a snow-covered manor with views of the icy loch, the Weyman family gather for Christmas. A fire is roaring, presents are wrapped and carols play on the radio. And the Weyman brothers each have a fake smile on their faces… Because George, Ken and Ralph are united by a terrible secret. And they are all desperate to know why their grandmother has summoned them. Playing happy families at Christmas has never been a Weyman tradition… especially after what happened twenty years ago. Then, out of the whirling storm, a stranger knocks at the door. He has bright blue eyes and an impossible accusation. George lies. Ken argues. Ralph hides. The secret they’ve kept for so long is about to come out. But in the morning, the winter visitor is dead, a gold ornament through his heart. One of them is a killer. Trapped in a storm, huddled by the fire, will they uncover the truth? Or bury it forever? A brilliantly twisty festive thriller from the bestselling author of The Dinner Guest. Perfect for fans of Alex Pine, Lucy Foley and Lisa Jewell. See what readers are saying about B P Walter: ‘Oh my WORD!!!!!
