Murder on the Bunny Slope
(2026)(The fifth book in the Poppy James Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Gemma Harper
A Bunny Slope Body—and a Beagle.
All Poppy James wants is an easy ski lesson, a mug of cocoa, and a weekend where her biggest problem is boots designed by villains. Then her beagle, Midsip, drags her to a snowbank on the bunny slope… and the ‘accident’ staged there feels wrong in her bones.
With history-buff Theo decoding resort maps like old rail timetables and best friend Nadine charm interrogating staff between trivia rounds, Poppy follows a trail of ‘maintenance holds,’ vanishing receipts, and a corridor the resort swears doesn’t exist.
The polished general manager, Garrett Madison, is eager to keep investors smiling. The ski patrol supervisor insists the barricades are routine—yet his rigging looks anything but.
When a photo disappears from Poppy’s phone and warnings arrive that only someone nearby could know, she realizes the mountain isn’t just hiding secrets.
If she can’t crack the schedule before Sunday’s closed door meeting, the next body won’t be staged for show.
Genre: Mystery
