Discover this delightful cozy mystery series, from the prize winning author of the American Fiction Awards and Chanticleer Award!
When Katie's spring break plans for a romantic getaway with Pete fall apart, she skips a chance to go skiing with her dad and the sister she's very recently met, and finds herself and Maverick in the company of friends and her students at The White Star Inn in New Prague, Minnesota. Although they are traveling to attend the memorial service for a student's mother, there will also be salon treatments, shopping, and sightseeing. But, from the moment they arrive, tension fills the air, as Edith Farthington, the oddball innkeeper, and her nephew appear to be harboring secrets and a few unwanted visitors.
The group is in town less than 24 hours when, during a geocaching outing, Katie and her students discover a dead body concealed in a remote area of a state park. Unfortunately, the victim just happens to be one of the few people in town they've already met, and Katie's group is getting the side-eye from the local cops.
The suspects are numerous, the motives tricky, but there's a shock for Katie and those close to her when the sheriff leaps ahead to arrest one of their own. How can Katie find enough evidence to convince him otherwise, especially when she's been warned to butt out-many times?
