Mark the days till Christmas with this feel-good cozy mystery set at a quaint family inn in the snowy mountains of Norway—structured as an advent calendar for your daily reading pleasure.

An old mystery. A tragic accident. Secrets. Confessions. A new beginning.

After a traumatic climbing accident, well-known Alpinist Ingrid Berg has returned to the small Norwegian village that her family has called home for generations to take over the management of the Glitter Peak Lodge from her aging grandmother, who's no longer up to the task. With Christmas rapidly approaching, the Glitter Peak Lodge staff are busy baking kransekake and saffron buns, decorating an enormous tree with tinsel, and enlisting guests to participate in their Santa Lucia celebration.

But within short order of Ingrid's return, complications arise that seem out of the ordinary. Unexpected cancellations. An outspoken American guest who seems to unsettle Ingrid's beloved grandmother. Leaking pipes that may imply sabotage. And then one day, Ingrid discovers a yellowed, decades-old newspaper clipping about an unsolved local mystery...

Will Ingrid be able to figure out what's going on in time to save the inn—and her family's legacy—from ruin?

The ultimate holiday treat, Christmas at Glitter Peak Lodge is a testament to the healing power of family and home and the magical bonds of community. Set up like an advent calendar, with twenty-four chapters, each set on a different day in December leading up to Christmas, it can be savored one chapter a day or devoured in one sitting.

"Delightful and charming—a breath of lovely mountain air!" —Jenny Colgan, author of The Bookshop on the Corner and The Christmas Bookshop

      When an avalanche destroys her career and her joy in mountain climbing, Ingrid Berg returns to her small Norwegian hometown to run the family inn, Glitter Peak Lodge so that Nana Borghild, who raised Ingrid, can retire. Ingrid hopes the lodge will take the place in her life that mountain climbing did. But in the days before Christmas, she must deal with leaky pipes and abrupt reservation cancellations. Also, Nana Borghild seems secretive and withdrawn. The normal December routine is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious American and her husband, along with the long stay of a pregnant influencer. While Ingrid can't forget the avalanche accident and the man who led the ill-fated expedition, Borghild's secrets from the early 1980s still haunt the village where a young bride-to-be vanished on her wedding day. It's the American woman who brings the past crashing back into the lodge's story. VERDICT Although the mystery (Johnsen's first to be published in English) is slight, the atmospheric Hallmark-style book is set up as if it were an Advent calendar: 24 chapters, one for each day in December leading up to Christmas. The multiple storylines offer a little for everyone: mountain climbing, village secrets, romance, bullying. The Norwegian customs and recipes are an extra treat.--Lesa Holstine
