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!
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. (Alyson Widen 2:20am March 25, 2009)
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! (JoAnn White 9:58am March 25, 2009)
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. (LuAnn Morgan 10:15am March 25, 2009)
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. (Sharon Berger 11:50am March 25, 2009)
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! (Martha Eskuchen 6:43pm March 25, 2009)
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. (Patricia Barraclough 12:30pm March 26, 2009)
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.
