A female sheriff tries to fill her late father’s boots and be the sheriff her small Washington State mountain town needs as a deadly snow storm engulfs the town, in this dark, twisty mystery. The world felt pure. Nature made the location pristine again, hiding the scene from prying eyes. As if no one had died there at all. In the months since Bet Rivers solved her first murder investigation and secured the sheriff’s seat in Collier, she’s remained determined to keep her town safe. With a massive snowstorm looming, it’s more important than ever that she stays vigilant.

Dru’s Short Musing:
In this latest adventure Bet has her hands full with an approaching storm and murder.

This dynamic mystery kept me enthralled in all aspects from the staging of this tale with a solid plot, an eclectic cast of characters, and a steady beat that made for a vibrant read that left me wanting more. The author’s writing style made it easy to follow along and the tone created an atmosphere where I had to know who was doing what to whom and why. I like how Bet took things in stride with thoughts of her mentors, which guided her and made her determined to solve this puzzling case. When I thought I had a handle on the person responsible, and the directional change enhanced my reading pleasure. The pacing was on par with how well this story was being told. Overall, this was an enjoyable read and I look forward to Bet’s next adventure.
