Travel Writer Mallory Marlow is on to her next assignment, traveling to Aspen, Colorado to ask people if non-skiers can have fun on the slopes. This is a perfect way to get away, visit with an old friend and write an entertaining piece. She isn't expecting her trip to Aspen to drop her into a mystery where her high school classmate, Carly Cassidy Berman dead body turns up in a mud bath in the mega exclusive spa she owns. Now instead of writing a fluff piece, Mallory is going to play super sleuth and amidst the backdrop of beautiful Aspen, she realizes there are more suspect than motive and she needs to keep one step ahead of a killer bent on keeping her silent.

My only complaint with this story...the rush to the ending was unsatisfying. Ms. Baxter took a great deal of time setting up the ending so I don't understand the race to the finish. Otherwise, Mallory and the cast of characters will engage the reader as will the whodunit storyline. This was an enjoyable read, fans of mysteries should like.
