Blurb:
The
third in the charming and engrossing Mountain Lodge mystery series by Diane
Kelly, in Snow Place for Murder, the
weather at the Mountaintop Lodge is truly frightful...
International resort developer Nigel Goodwin has
traveled all the way from London, England to Misty Murphy’s little corner of
North Carolina and bought out the Mountaintop Lodge for the week prior to
Christmas. Their intention? To pitch an exclusive new resort concept to wealthy
American investors.
But locals are at odds over the idea, and when a
group comes to the lodge to express their worries to Mr. Goodwin and the
potential investors, a blizzard hits Beech Mountain. Like the weather outside,
things quickly get frosty, and Misty has to call local police to intervene.
Handyman Rocky Crowder plows the lodge’s drive and, in an attempt to regain a
jovial holiday atmosphere, smooths the snow pile into a makeshift sledding hill
for the guests to enjoy.
Misty’s boys have finished their exams and are
“home” from college for the winter break, planning to spend most of their time
snowboarding at the ski resort. While taking a few runs down Rocky’s sledding
hill, they discover a funny-looking, nose-shaped rock. Only it’s not a rock.
It’s the frozen nose of Nigel Goodwin, who’s found dead and buried under the
mound of snow.
Who put the developer on ice and why?
My
review:
This book
had me laughing at the most inappropriate moments. Diane
Kelly takes us back to the Mountaintop Lodge and the wonderfully quirky group
that keep it running. Fun, family and a murder that will keep you guessing what
else could you want?
