(2026)(The third book in the Detective Callie Forde Mystery series)
A novel by K L Murphy
When five couples escape to a mountain mansion for a winter getaway, what could go wrong?
Sister social media influencers Tess Hunt and Marnie Betts have their vacation all planned. Along with their husbands and friends, they’ll spend a few days on Hampstead Mountain in style. Catered dinners. Wineries and shopping. Hiking and snow. It’s exactly what they’d hoped, but when one of their husband’s turns up dead, their dream trip soon turns into a nightmare.
Arriving on scene, neither Detective Callie Forde nor her partner are prepared for the winter storm that hits the mountain, stranding them at the house with the victim and a house full of suspects. As the hours pass, relationships are tested, tempers boil over, and secrets are exposed. The detectives are left wondering who among the group can be trusted when your enemies are your friends and your friends are your enemies. The only thing they know for sure is that someone in the house is not who they seem. Someone in the house is a killer.
