A Molly Murphy mystery

Summary

Semi-retired private detective Molly Murphy Sullivan is suffering from depression after a miscarriage. She and her husband, Daniel, are invited for Christmas at a mansion on the Hudson, and they expect a peaceful and relaxing holiday season. When they arrive, however, they feel the tension in the house's atmosphere. Then they learn that the host couple's young daughter wandered out into the snow ten years ago and was never seen again. There is so little to go on: no ransom note, no body ever found. Molly begins to suspect that the occupants of the house know more than they are letting on. Then, on Christmas Eve, there is a knock at the door and a young girl stands there. 'I'm Charlotte,' she says. 'I've come home."
