Snow Place for Murder
Snow Place for Murder | Diane Kelly
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
The third in the charming and engrossing Mountain Lodge mystery series by Diane Kelly, in Snow Place for Murder, the weather at the Mountaintop Lodge is truly frightful... International resort developer Nigel Goodwin has traveled all the way from London, England to Misty Murphys little corner of North Carolina and bought out the Mountaintop Lodge for the week prior to Christmas. Their intention? To pitch an exclusive new resort concept to wealthy American investors. But locals are at odds over the idea, and when a group comes to the lodge to express their worries to Mr. Goodwin and the potential investors, a blizzard hits Beech Mountain. Like the weather outside, things quickly get frosty, and Misty has to call local police to intervene. Handyman Rocky Crowder plows the lodges drive and, in an attempt to regain a jovial holiday atmosphere, smooths the snow pile into a makeshift sledding hill for the guests to enjoy. Mistys boys have finished their exams and are home from college for the winter break, planning to spend most of their time snowboarding at the ski resort. While taking a few runs down Rockys sledding hill, they discover a funny-looking, nose-shaped rock. Only its not a rock. Its the frozen nose of Nigel Goodwin, whos found dead and buried under the mound of snow. Who put the developer on ice and why?

A little fictional vacay to Beech Mountain and the Mountaintop Lodge for the holidays was pretty delightful sans the murder of course.

When the plans of a new competing resort near Misty‘s Mountaintop Lodge are derailed, Misty tries to find out if the death of the man in charge was accidental or murder.

This was cute, but just as slow and plodding as the 2nd. Lots of description, lots of tell. & some seemingly pointless chapters from the cat‘s POV. But also paired with a cute relationship, her interactions with her sons, & plenty of red herrings. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

Took.me a week to read this book. I still don't know why she gave Yeti, the cat, chapters. He didn't add to the book at all.

Another good addition to the series! I am still feeling like I don't need the cat's point of view, especially since it's not giving me any additional info, but the mysteries are always very solid with lots of good characters and red herrings. I am also really enjoying that the circle of friends and family has been slowly widening so that we get more info, but not all at once.
