Maggie heads for the snowy mountains in New Hampshire to work on her math puzzle book, hoping for peace, solitude and a little skiing. Instead she finds a town embroiled in bitter debate over the proposed sale of the local ski resort, which culminates in the murder of wealthy Jack Warwick. With her childhood friend under suspicion, Maggie presses to uncover the real killer. Can she do so before getting her own “taste of death?”
“Hughes capably combines elements of both cozy and environmental mysteries. The characters are engaging, the plot has more twists than a tough ski slope, and there is plenty of cozy ambience, thanks to a charming cat, much attention to food, and the ski resort setting. Fans of Diane Mott Davidson’s Goldy Bear series or Leslie Meier’s Lucy Stone novels should add this series to their lists. ” — Booklist
