Winter Festival Murder

The small Minnesota town of Shady Lake is hosting the annual Below Zero Festival and this year, the medallion hunt has upped the prize money. Tessa Schmidt isn't sure why, but that $500 has people going crazy. Even worse, every year Gerald Pinkerton wins the medallion hunt and almost everyone thinks he has been cheating, but they just can't prove it.

And then, Gerald winds up dead at the bottom of the sled hill and the medallion is missing from where it had been hidden. Accusations are flying, and they are especially flying at Trevor, her best friend Mandy's long time boyfriend. Tessa doesn't even like Trevor, but she has to help when her best friend asks Tessa to clear Trevor's name. Amongst all of the murder and mayhem, she gets guilt tripped into entering a snow sculpture competition with Clark after making Max upset at her. As she tries to keep her love life together, she is also wading through clues.

Tessa wants to prove that Trevor didn't do it and get back to only worrying about her love life, but can she find out who killed Gerald before the blizzard hits?
