A review by caitkom
Frozen Detective by Amanda Flower

4.0

I find Amanda Flower's books easy and enjoyable to read. She has not had a series that I didn't like. This is the second in the Porter and Piper detective agency series. Tate Porter is new to the agency, as Darby Piper used to run it with his late aunt. They are kind of awkward and are still learning how to work together. Tate's ex girlfriend, Cecily Madd comes in to the office and says she wants to hire them to figure out who has been sending her husband threatening letters. Cecily's husband, Dr. Garrett Madd is well known in the skin care industry. Darby begrudgingly agrees, mostly because she is tired of doing background checks.

The case is made more interesting by the fact that they have to pretend to be dating and attend a New Years Eve launch party at Cecily's family resort up in the mountains. Cecily is refusing to show Tate and Darby the threatening letters and is being super stingy with information, which is rubbing Darby the wrong way. The morning after Dr. Madd makes a huge announcement, changing everything, Darby finds him dead on the slopes with an arrow in his back.

This was a cool book and had a locked room feeling, with the guests being stranded on a mountain. I give this review voluntarily after receiving an ARC from NetGalley.
