Snow Place for Murder
Author: Diane Kelly
Snow Place for Murder is the 3rd book in the Mountain Lodge mystery series. I like this series. It's set in an area of NC where I used to live. The plots are fun and entertaining. And, I like the characters.
This time, Misty Murphy's sons are at the lodge helping out for the holidays and spending time skiing. And, the lodge is full up, hosting a investors meeting for a development firm. The developer wants to build a large resort in the area. Some locals are very vocal and more than a bit threatening regarding their opposition to the project. When a dead body is discovered outside in the snow, Misty and her friends find themselves investigating yet another less-than-natural death. Who was mad enough about a proposed resort to kill?
I don't ski, but I loved reading this book about the holiday season at Misty's lodge. It's too bad that a murder had to add darkness into their enjoyment of skiing and the holidays. There was one part of the discovery of the body that was both really gruesome and a bit funny at the same time. I felt guilty for laughing a bit....but the mental picture brought out my dark sense of humor. Readers will just have to read the book to find out what scene I'm talking about. You'll know it when you read it! :)
I love snow, so the cover art for this book really made me happy. :)
Great addition to this series! I can't wait for the next book!
