Winter has arrived in Marlin and it's going to get colder, darker and creepier. Get ready for a winter chill.In this seasonal horror story, Stephanie and her friends prepare for a quiet Christmas in the Cornish coastal village of Marlin. Then a series of mysterious deaths rocks a quiet village in the beautiful Devon countryside, east of Marlin, and the police are baffled. Stephanie can't refuse a call for help, so she takes Jan and another friend and colleague along to investigate. But what awaits the three women is far more sinister than they bargained for. Tradition meets terror in a deadly battle of wills, as they find themselves trapped and isolated during a sudden blizzard. Can they solve the mystery in time? This is one of the stand-alone tales which accompany "The Marlin Chronicles" series.

It features some of the characters from the novels. Chronologically, it fits in just after "Whispers of Marlin": Book 3 of "The Marlin Chronicles," but it can be enjoyed at any time along your journey through the series. There are no great spoilers, but it includes a few references to events in the series affecting the heroine Stephanie, her best friend Jan and their colleagues, which readers of the main series will already know.Alyson Mountjoy created "The Marlin Chronicles" by using events from her own life (including many unsettling brushes with the paranormal). She has combined them with supernatural suspense mixed with mystery, horror, crime and romance, historical facts, tears and laughter, and a touch of fantasy. In doing so, she has created an ongoing and unique series of novels. "Mother of Marlin" is the first book in the main series.[Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner.
