About this audiobook
Pancake house owner Marley McKinney takes a break from the Flip Side for a romantic getaway. But soon, instead of mixing batter, she's mixed up with murder . . .
Marley and her new husband Brett need some quality couple time before the holiday madness, so they drive up into the mountains of the Olympic Peninsula to charming Holly Lodge. Before long they're enjoying snowshoe excursions, hot chocolates, and cuddling in front of a roaring fire. Despite some barely concealed marital tension between the owners of the lodge, they're finally able to unwind . . .
Until one morning when they notice a glove sticking out of a snowbank outside of the lodge. Inside the glove is a hand connected to a frozen corpse buried beneath the snow-lodge owner Kevin Manning has been murdered. Presented with a stack of suspects and eventually stranded at the lodge by a blizzard, Marley has to catch the cold-hearted killer before someone else gets iced . . .

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was kinda early to start enjoying Christmasy Mystery but I enjoyed it none the less
Let's dive right in
Pros
- I have to put my hands together for Ms. Fox for Marley's Story, I am as invested in it as in the mystery itself.
Cons
- The second Marley & Brett moves from the lodges i felt detached from the scene of the crime
- I felt that the crime investigation specially since it was extended over several locations it was extended in time as well !!
- I wanted a more build up toward Ambros Love for Rita it would have been more logical if he tried to make a move on her.. but again the detached location created 2 locations where things are happening.
