When a luxurious resort plays host to a murder, Daphne must solve the case before the clear mountain air becomes the last she breathes…
Celebrant and accidental amateur sleuth Daphne Jones is thrilled to attend an opulent mountaintop retreat for a celebrants' conference. But the weekend turns deadly when a mysterious note lures Daphne to the hotel fountain, where she discovers a dead body, floating face down and wearing the distinctive red jacket of the society's president, Rupert Witherspoon.
Daphne races for help, but when she returns, the body has vanished, and Rupert is very much alive. With the only other witness quickly discredited and everyone questioning her sanity, Daphne begins to doubt what she saw. Until one of the conference guests fails to arrive…
When the missing guest is found dead beside the winding mountain road, Daphne knows her instincts were correct: someone at this retreat has orchestrated murder. But what would turn a celebrant into a killer? With a fierce storm trapping everyone at the remote retreat, Daphne realises she must unmask the murderer before they can escape. Or worse, claim another victim…
A gripping mystery perfect for fans of Ellie Alexander, Tonya Kappes and twisty, character-driven cozy crime.
