Product Description:
There's snow place like homicide
B&B hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn's ready to hang up her oven mitts, but irrepressible Cousin Renie needs help catering the telephone company's annual winter retreat at secluded Mountain Goat Lodge. The pay's good, the scenery's to die for -- but they never figured there'd be a killer cooking up mischief among this innocuous stew of corporate-climbing phone company ding-a-lings. Unfortunately, Judith and Renie's discovery of the frozen garroted remains of the previous company caterer -- missing since last year's shindig -- suggests no less, since the same cast of characters is present this time around. It's Dial 'M' for Mountain Goat Murder, and a storm's blowing in to boot -- leaving Judith and Renie stranded with ten suspects and a corpses...and with nothing better to do than to reach out and touch a killer who's like nothing better than to put two inquisitive cousins in the Deep Freeze.

I have enjoyed this series by Ms Danheim as well as her Alpine Murder Mysteries. This 13th book is a fairly good mystery except for one blaring mistake. In chapter 8, Judith announces 'to her acute embarassment'..."Someone took Barry's items out of my handbag last night." Unfortunately in chapter 13 while she and cousin Renie are trying to deduce the killer it states 'Was Max referring to Barry Newcombe's belongings? But no one knew they had been stolen from Judith's shoulder bag.' The plot, a bit convoluted (probably because of so many bodies) lands flat at times is still okay. I can not claim it to be one of my favorites of the series so far. Still I recommend the series as a whole. Maybe this was just a case of unlucky 13.

I was very surprised by some of the negative comments left concerning this installment of the B and B Mystery Series. I thought this one was terrific! Yes, I did miss the "old folks at home" (Joe, Gertrude, the Rankers, and Sweetums), but there were plenty of interesting people trapped in the Inn with Judith and Renie. I found this not only a biting commentary on corporate America, but a wonderful homage to some of the great murder mysteries out of our past, particularly Then There Were None (also known as Ten Little Indians). Anyone who could not understand how the bodies "piled up like cordwood" must never had enjoyed the pleasures of a creepy old "we're trapped, now what" scenario. I just wish someone would have the sense to start making some tv movies of this series!! Can't wait for the subsequent one!

In this installment of the Bed-and-Breakfast Mystery series, Judith Flynn goes to the Mountain Goat Lodge to cater a weekend retreat for some phone company executives. Cousin Renie has invited her along because she is making a presentation to the board and her caterer has dropped out at the last minute. What was to be a short 1-day trip turns into several days as a giant blizzard snows them in to the lodge. The characters reveal themselves to be a self-centered bunch, interested only in advancing their careers. Judith and Renie discover a skeleton while they are out exploring and then several murders ensue. Everyone there realizes that it must be somebody at the lodge, so there is much fear and mutual distrust. After several blue herrings, Judith, of course, deduces who the murderer is. This is a good read, if you enjoy cozies.

Of all this series, I cared for this one the least. It took place away from the familiar neighborhood, the B&B and although the "coz's" were together, I missed Joe and the rest of the characters.

I did not particulary enjoy this book. I thought that too many characters were included which made the plot hard to follow. I really did not understand why the murderer comitted the crime. Usually while reading a mystery, I can't wait to find out what happens subsequent and the book keeps me on the edge of my seat. Reading this book turned into a chore after awhile. I don't think I will buy a Mary Daheim book again because of the poor plot of Snow Place To Die.
