Body in the Snowdrift
Page, Katherine HallCaterer Faith Fairchild has a bad
feeling about her father-in-law's decision to celebrate his seventieth
birthday with a family reunion ski week at the Pine Slopes resort in
Vermont -- the Fairchilds' favorite getaway since Faith's husband, the
Reverend Thomas Fairchild, was a toddler. At first her unease seems
unfounded -- until Faith comes across a corpse on one of the
cross-country trails, the apparent victim of a heart attack.
Then
one catastrophe follows another: the mysterious disappearance of the
Pine Slopes' master chef, a malicious prank at the sports center, a
break-in at the Fairchild condo, the sabotage of a chairlift. And when a
fatal "accident" with the snow-making machines stains the slopes blood
red, Faith realizes she'll have to work fast to solve a murderous puzzle
-- because suddenly not only are the reunion and the beloved resort's
future in jeopardy . . . but Faith's life is as well.
