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.

Two teens appear out of nowhere, ransacking a small-town grocery and attacking the police officers who come to investigate.
