About The Circle In The Snow
When a beloved schoolteacher is found posed in the snow with her mouth filled with ice, the isolated Wyoming town of Frostwood insists it’s a tragic anomaly. Investigator Rowan Pierce knows better. The staging is deliberate. The fear in the victim’s final notes is real. And the deeper he digs, the more the town pushes back.
Emily Hart wasn’t the first.
A decade earlier, a teenage girl died under the same chilling circumstances—her case quietly buried, her death dismissed. Now a brutal winter storm seals Frostwood off from the outside world, and Rowan uncovers a hidden pattern of stalking, missing evidence, and a strange symbol linking both murders to a long‑forgotten influence within the town.
Someone in Frostwood is protecting a killer.
Someone who learned long ago that silence is survival.
As witnesses vanish and the storm closes in, Rowan must expose a generational secret before another life is taken. But in a town built on loyalty and fear, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all.
Atmospheric, tense, and steeped in small‑town mystery, The Circle in the Snow is a gripping murder‑thriller perfect for fans of C.J. Tudor, Jane Harper, and Karin Slaughter.
