Murder is being served cold in this delicious new culinary mystery!
Food critic and blogger Harper Wilde has developed quite the reputation beyond her culinary reviews. After solving mysteries in Savannah and New Orleans, Harper's unexpected talent for investigating food-related crimes has earned her a devoted following. When her former culinary school classmate Nicole Chen invites her to review Timber Creek Lodge, a luxury ski resort in Aspen, Harper expects nothing more than exquisite meals and picturesque mountain views.
But something isn't right in the pristine resort kitchen. Expensive ingredients disappear, premium products lack their distinctive qualities, and Nicole suspects deliberate substitutions. When Harper discovers hidden counterfeit labels in the walk-in freezer, she realizes they've uncovered an elaborate fraud scheme.
Before they can gather more evidence, local supplier Gregory Simmons causes a scene at an exclusive dinner party, publicly threatening to expose the resort's secrets. The next morning, he's found frozen to death at the delivery entrance—with traces of antifreeze in his coffee.
As a blizzard of evidence accumulates, Harper must determine who's behind the fraud and murder: Is it Conrad Winters, the charming but calculating lodge manager? Isabelle Frost, the frosty sommelier with a mysterious past? Logan Reid, the owner's suspiciously devoted assistant? Or could Blake Thompson, the wealthy resort owner, be involved despite his claims of ignorance?
With help from no-nonsense Detective Lauren Morgan and insights from her anonymous tipster, Harper follows a trail of falsified invoices, counterfeit luxury goods, and financial deception. But investigating fraud quickly becomes dangerous when Harper uncovers a secret warehouse operation on the outskirts of town.
As the charity gala approaches—an event that will put the deception on full display—Harper races to expose the truth before the killer serves up another cold dish of revenge.
In this third installment of the Harper Wilde Mystery series, the culinary sleuth proves once again that her palate for detection is as refined as her taste in cuisine. With snappy dialogue, mouth-watering food descriptions, and a puzzling mystery that will keep readers guessing until the final course, "Death in the Snow" delivers a perfectly crafted cozy mystery that's sure to satisfy fans of culinary crime.
