Excellent! This was just as enjoyable as the first of this series. Excited for the 4th to come out next year!

A light- hearted easy to read mystery.
I have read the first two books, and was eager to read the current book.
I like the characters well enough, but I just don't find them as endearing as other cozy mystery characters. They just fall a little flat for me.
I like the setting in Colorado and like the main character's passion for wine. I just can't find anything to love about Parker.
The mystery is written well. I don't love that there is information the the reader is not given to be able to solve the crime, but that is still OK.
I did like that the sheriff is not blatantly dumb or unwilling to treat the sleuth with any intelligence.

This is my favorite of the series so far! I love these characters so much! It was fun to see them on a ski adventure that turned to murder! The resort was the perfect setting for this suspenseful cozy. I can’t wait for the next!

Once again I loved 🥰 this book and couldn’t wait to see what Parker and the gang get into when they go to a snowy weekend getaway. Trouble follows her when a famous skier ⛷ is found dead and they can’t leave, because of a storm.

Thanks to the publisher, via Netgalley, for an advance e-galley for honest review.
In book 3 of this series, we venture outside of Boulder to a ski resort, and while I sometimes get nervous when a cozy series take us outside the community we've grown to love, this adventure was worth the journey. Because we weren't accompanying Parker as she made wine or led tastings (except for the titular mulled wine), this one gave room for character development and a still interesting mystery. This continues to be a fun series, and I'm looking forward to more.
