Thanks to Netgalley and Bantam Books for the gifted book I read along with the library audio.
Ellie Christie is beginning a new chapter by returning to her Colorado hometown to help her sister run their family's historic bookshop. It's a picturesque bookish destination in a small town perched on a mountain side. But when a man is found dead on the gondola and a rockslide forces the town into lockdown, things start to get very questionable.
Charming is the key word to describe this book. A charming town, bookstore, and characters. You feel like you are in the tiny Colorado town, hunting with the Christie sisters for clues. I thought the way the mystery unfolded was very interesting and how the layers of characters and clues were revealed was quite satisfying.
This is a cozy mystery, so nothing too gruesome here.
