Winter has settled hard over Boston, and Jamaica Pond lies frozen beneath a deceptive blanket of snow-beautiful, silent, and hiding secrets that refuse to stay buried.
When a body is discovered beneath the ice, society sleuth Amanda Burnside Halloran is drawn once more into a case that touches both privilege and desperation. The victim's quiet life masks tangled loyalties, whispered grudges, and a past that refuses to remain frozen. As rumors ripple through Beacon Hill parlors and working-class kitchens alike, it becomes clear that nearly everyone had something to lose-and someone had something to hide.
With her police-detective husband Brendan officially on the case, Amanda follows her own trail of teacups, half-heard conversations, and carefully concealed motives. But in a city where class divides run deep and appearances matter more than truth, asking the wrong question can be dangerous-especially when the killer may be closer than anyone suspects.
Against a backdrop of winter skating, family dinners, and Boston traditions, MURDER ON JAMAICA POND delivers a richly detailed 1930s mystery filled with red herrings, sharp observation, and a satisfying twist that proves even the coldest surface can crack.
