Summary

On Christmas Eve, 85-year-old Miriam Caravasios steps onto the ice that surrounds her seaside estate on Maine's Mount Desert Island. Miriam, her mind clouded by dementia, doesn’t hear the snap of thin ice until it’s too late. Was it an accident? Suicide? Or worse, did someone lure the old woman onto the frozen reach, to her death? There are plenty of suspects – Miriam’s fractured and complicated family has gathered in their Bar Harbor mansion. The guests include Delphine, Miriam’s granddaughter, and Miriam’s live-in aide, Adam, whom Delphine has been secretly dating. There is Miriam's former housekeeper, Shelly Dyer, who left the family's employment years ago under mysterious circumstances. There are Miriam’s children: Theodora, who gave up everything to assume the role of caretaker; Diana, who seems just a little too eager to inherit her share of the estate; and Richard, who holds a long time grudge against his mother. As tensions rise, Delphine is emboldened to start asking questions – the trail will take her into the past, into dark places, and eventually, onto thin ice.
