Frozen Detective by Amanda Flower

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing “Frozen Detective“ by Amanda Flower the 2nd instalment in “A Piper and Porter Mystery” series.  What a great follow up to book one!  I really enjoyed this book.

Murder on the ski slopes.
The weapon? A bow and arrow.
The suspects? Every guest at the villa.

Intrigue, a fake relationship, and humor come together in a Knives Out-style cozy mystery from bestselling author Amanda Flower and Hallmark Publishing.

A wealthy doctor invites many of his associates to spend a week at a giant, luxurious ski villa. Darby Piper, a seasoned private eye, and Tate Porter, her new partner at the detective agency, are among the guests, going undercover as a romantic couple. They were hired by the doctor’s much-younger wife to investigate anonymous threats against her husband’s life. But before long, Darby and Tate are investigating a murder instead.

As they dig up buried grudges, Darby’s jealous ex-boyfriend on the police force thinks they’re wasting their time. Will Darby and Tate figure out who the killer is…or will it become another cold case?

I really enjoyed this story, and I can’t wait for the next instalment!

I love Tiny the Saint Barnard, he was adorable 

I enjoyed the tension between Darby, her ex Austin and Tate Porter.  Part of me wonders if Tate liked Darby back in school and that’s the friction between him and Austin. 

The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and I loved the characters which are well developed.
I kept guessing and second-guessing myself on whodunnit right to the very end.  

I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Hallmark Publishing and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
