About The Book:
Sister social media influencers Tess Hunt and Marnie Betts have their vacation all planned. Along with their husbands and friends, they’ll spend a few days on Hampstead Mountain in style. Catered dinners. Wineries and shopping. Hiking and snow. It’s exactly what they’d hoped, but when one of their husband’s turns up dead, their dream trip soon turns into a nightmare.
Arriving on scene, neither Detective Callie Forde nor her partner are prepared for the winter storm that hits the mountain, stranding them at the house with the victim and a house full of suspects. As the hours pass, relationships are tested, tempers boil over, and secrets are exposed. The detectives are left wondering who among the group can be trusted when your enemies are your friends and your friends are your enemies. The only thing they know for sure is that someone in the house is not who they seem. Someone in the house is a killer.
A locked room mystery for readers who love Knives Out and And Then There Was None.
About The Author:
The first thing K.L. Murphy wrote was a modified screenplay of a 1970s TV show. She and her siblings performed that show for their own built-in audience (mom and dad) to rave reviews (again, mom and dad!). Later, she moved on to high school journalism before graduating from college and taking a detour into finance and banking. Once she began writing again and focusing on fiction, the process felt like coming home.
K.L. Murphy is the author of Last Girl Missing and The Murderer’s Girl, The Great Forgotten, and the award-nominated Her Sister’s Death, a January 2023 Once Upon a Book Club Pick. Of Her Sister’s Death, Publishers Weekly said, “Murphy keeps the tension high…” and “readers will eagerly turn the pages” and Library Journal called the book “[A] riveting tale…” https://kellielarsenmurphy.com/
