When snow blankets Maplewood and the ski season begins, retired nurse Carolyne Bennett is hoping for peace, quiet, and a fresh start. But when a wealthy tourist is found dead at the luxurious Summit Ridge resort, Carolyne is pulled into a chilling new mystery - one that reaches far beyond the slopes.
The victim's injuries suggest a struggle. Her secrets hint at something darker. And the resort's polished guests and staff seem more interested in protecting reputations than revealing the truth. With her loyal poodle Rosie by her side and Chief Hayes once again asking for her insight, Carolyne must navigate a world of privilege, deception, and danger.
As she uncovers hidden motives, financial cover-ups, and long-buried grudges, Carolyne realizes this case won't be solved with small-town intuition alone. Someone at Summit Ridge is lying - and they'll do anything to keep their secrets buried in the snow.
