Dogwalker Charlie Boardman and his canine-loving friends are looking forward to a festive getaway at Hound House, an exclusive dog-friendly hotel on the outskirts of their seaside hometown.

It's the perfect escape. Until a guest turns up dead. The hotel owners hope it's an accident - but Charlie fears the dogwalkers' next case is a murder...

As snow starts to fall, Charlie and his friends are trapped inside with their prime suspects - the hotel guests and staff. And when a festive tree lighting turns deadly, a luxury stay descends into chaos.

But who checked into Hound House with murder in mind? And can the dogwalkers sniff out a killer, before a White Christmas turns red?
