Snowflake Bay is gearing up to revive their old tradition of the Frost Queen. All is going well until the leading candidate is killed, potentially murdered, and the star prize, a frost staff, is stolen.
Wren is busy trying to sort of her family out and organise a wedding when Mayor Archie Grand offers her fifty-thousand dollars to investigate the murder and find the frost staff. She wouldn't normally accept the offer, but her step-daughter, Paula, needs to go to a school for intelligent children, and it's expensive. Wren accepts, unaware the case is about to get even more complicated. Can she find the killer in time?
