Did you enjoy your holidays?

We did! o much so that we're easing back into things STILL, 

so January will be light on reviews!

Synopsis:

Pancake house owner Marley McKinney takes a break from the Flip Side for a romantic getaway. But soon, instead of mixing batter, she’s mixed up with murder . . .

 

Marley and her new husband Brett need some quality couple time before the holiday madness, so they drive up into the mountains of the Olympic Peninsula to charming Holly Lodge. Before long they’re enjoying snowshoe excursions, hot chocolates, and cuddling in front of a roaring fire. Despite some barely concealed marital tension between the owners of the lodge, they’re finally able to unwind . . .

 

Until one morning when they notice a glove sticking out of a snowbank outside of the lodge. Inside the glove is a hand connected to a frozen corpse buried beneath the snow—lodge owner Kevin Manning has been murdered. Presented with a stack of suspects and eventually stranded at the lodge by a blizzard, Marley has to catch the cold-hearted killer before someone else gets iced . . .

Includes pancake recipes right from the Flip Side menu!

Review

Sometimes you just can't get away from your job and hobbies, LOL. Poor Marley and Brett just want some fun days together and instead get immediately wrapped up into 'something's not right', which soon evolves into murder. Then when they try to leave it behind, the suspects follow them home, and stay nearby. So what are you gonna do? In Marley's case, it's put your teeth into it and try to solve the case! This is a fun cozy read with a few red herrings along the way to keep you turning the pages. Just don't read on an empty stomach, as those recipes will get you!
