Mystery Cozy, Mystery Woman Sleuth

Have suitcase, will sleuth...

Mallory Marlowe, travel writer for the Good Life magazine, heads to Colorado to answer the question: Can nonskiers have fun in Aspen? It’s also a chance to visit a now rich and famous high-school classmate, Carly Cassidy Berman. Cheerleader, homecoming queen, and class president, Carly had it all then and still does—a sprawling mountainside home, an adoring husband, and a multimillion-dollar business centered around her super-exclusive Tavaci Springs spa. But not all is what it seems in Carly’s golden life, because within twenty-four hours of Mallory’s arrival, Carly’s corpse turns up in a mud bath.

Against a dazzling backdrop of majestic ski slopes, ritzy boutiques, and slumming celebrities, Mallory suddenly discovers that Aspen’s main attraction is a dazzling array of suspects—one of whom is eager to see this accidental sleuth’s travels come to an end. As Mallory begins to uncover the secrets hidden amid Aspen’s snow, will a desperate killer make this playground for the pampered and privileged Mallory’s final destination?

Includes Mallory’s article for the Good Life, with tips and reviews of real Aspen attractions!

Re: Too Rich and Too Dead

Great idea, travel for research and educational purposes (to be written off as tax expense for business), much to your delight and children's groans at times.

My family used to do the same thing! Spring Breaks, Holiday Breaks all meant ROAD TRIPS!
but we always found interesting places to visit and have loads of fun! Great stories we talk about now that we are older!

I remember many of the summer trips we took when I was a kid. I've often thought I'd love to travel and write about the many places when I retire.

I enjoyed reading your blog today about your travel experiences. Nothing is more rewarding and wonderful than travel and the memories. Thanks for this interesting post.

Thanks for an interesting blog. I agree that traveling is wonderful and it is great that it enhances your writing. The mysteries sound like fun!

I am so jealous! I never got to travel as a child and have tried to make up for it in my adult life. My husband and I hit the road whenever we can. To bad I'm not a travel writer - couyld do so much more if someone else was paying for it. Sounds like a series that might go over well at the little library where I work. I'll check it out. Happy traveling.

I have read your books and you do
convey the fun and mystery of travel.
Your book on the old Florida, "Monkey
See, Monkey Die" reminded me of my
travels both as a child in the car with
my parents, and a more recent trip to
South Florida where we went to a
Gator farm. Your book "Too Rich and
Too Famous" really captures the 2
aspects of Aspen, the rich and the rest
of us. You are lucky to be able to both
travel and write for a living.
