Description: To kick off a winter writing retreat, Cat and her handyman boyfriend, Seth, escort the aspiring authors to a nearby ski resort, hoping that some fresh cold air will wake up their creative muses. But instead of hitting the slopes, they hit the bar - and before long, a tipsy romance novelist named Christina is keeping herself warm with a local ski bum who might have neglected to tell her about his upcoming wedding.

Next thing Cat knows, her uncle, the town sheriff, informs her that the young man's been found dead in a hot tub - and Christina shows up crying and covered in blood. Now, between a murder mystery, the theft of a rare Hemingway edition, and the arrival of a black-clad stranger in snowy Aspen Hills, Cat's afraid everything's going downhill....

My Thoughts: The second book in the Cat Latimer mysteries centers around the second group of authors who come to the writer's retreat. This time one of the authors takes up with a local who winds up dead with her as a suspect.

Cat knows this writer of sweet romances couldn't also be a killer. So, she's on the case. Of course, she's also still trying to solve the mystery of what her late husband Michael was doing that caused him to blow up their marriage. 

And just to add interest, the library has suffered the theft of a rare, signed Hemingway novel which her authors discover when they go out for pizza. Cat also learns that the college where she and her husband taught is the preferred college for children from mafia families which comes as news to her. 

Besides a mysterious hired assassin, Cat also draws the attention of Dante who is the uncle of a current student and connected to the mafia in some way. He encourages her to stop investigating what her ex was involved in which Cat ignores. 

This story solves the current murder but only provides clues on the whole Michael problem. I'll have to keep reading this eight-book series.
