A treat for booklovers and treasure hunters alike, The Secret Christmas Library serves up a delicious mystery with a hint of romance, and plenty of holiday spirit. Mirren Sutherland became an antiquarian book hunter after discovering a priceless antique in her great aunt’s attic. Now, with Christmas approaching, she’s hired by the young laird of a crumbling Highland castle to find a rare book hidden somewhere in his ancestral home. But rival book hunter Theo Palliser appears on Mirren’s train to the Highlands, and she knows his presence is no coincidence. When a snowstorm cuts the castle off from the outside world, Mirren and Theo must unravel the late laird’s elaborate clues and uncover the secrets hidden within the house. With the help of a sprinkle of Christmas magic, will Mirren uncover the clues and find the book – without losing her heart?
