Book Review:
I gave this book 4 stars. If you like food and mystery this is the book for you. You get both for the price of one. In this book Hope is a food blogger and is just about to publish her first cookbook. To help her to get everything done she has subscribed to a life coach, and she is going to a retreat for the weekend for a life changing event. She has recruited a few friends to go with her. The day of the event the weather is horrible and not getting better as the day goes on. Hope is able to make it to the lodge before the weather gets any worse. The retreat is supposed to start around 6 pm. Unfortunately, Hope isn't too impressed with the coach and some of the other people are acting funny like they know who the coach is before they even met. As the event continues on the weather has turned into a blizzard and they have lost power, and a power line has been knocked down blocking the entrance to the lodge so even emergency crews will have a hard time. One of the guests has brought up a discovery about the coach and all hell breaks loose. Everyone wants to go home but aren't able because of the weather. They are hoping for a better day tomorrow, so decide to go to the library and relax. The problem is they can't find several members of the group, so they go searching. Hope ends up in the basement to check things out and she discovers the coach in the sauna which has been blocked by a beach. The coach is no longer alive of course. She has to tell everyone, so she goes back to the library to let people know. During this time Hope's fiancé is on the way and he has brought a police officer to clear the roads. It's a good thing because now they don't have to wait until morning to report the murder. As normal the main character is an amateur sleuth and gets her nose into things that shouldn't be. Does she figure out who killed the coach and why? Well, you have to read the book to find out.
