The mountains are calling in Ashland, Oregon, where pastry chef turned amateur sleuth, Jules Capshaw, is baking up a bevy of delicious deserts. Ramiro’s family is visiting from Spain and Jules can’t wait to take them up to Mount A to watch the Downhill Dummy. Contestants strap dummies to skis and send them hurling down a ski jump in hopes of catching big air. It’s a fun and festive atmosphere until one of the dummies takes a deadly detour and lands atop Fitz Baskin. Fitz is a guide on the mountain who has been suspected of some underhanded deals. As Jules investigates, she unearths a web of secrets and motives that threaten to shake the rustic mountain lodge to its core. Can she catch the killer before they strike again, or will the truth be buried forever under fluffy layers of fresh snow?
I loved this wintry cozy mystery. The characters were dastardly, and the plot kept me guessing until the very end. The story flowed well, and I was never bored. There was no blood or gore as the murder occurred "off the page." This story makes me yearn to visit Ashland and see this wonderful community. Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
