Hello! I’m Annie McEwen, author of the Northwoods Mysteries, a cozy mystery series set in Northern Wisconsin. SNOW TIME TO DIE is the third book in my series. Get ready for lots of snow, cozy fires, hot chocolate, snow, snoop… I mean, sleuthing, more snow, and oh, yeah… a MURDER! Here’s a little acrostic poem to give you a taste of what to expect! Happy Reading!
Storm clouds gather, winds begin to howl,
Night falls frigid with danger so foul.
Over Lake Covington, snow whips across the ice,
Wisconsin Northwoods winter isn’t playing nice.
Trapped in a blizzard with nowhere to run,
In the middle of it all, the mystery’s begun.
Memories surface, grudges still burn,
Everyone had a reason, everyone wanted a turn.
Twists and turns keep Emmy on her toes,
Old enemies still act like petty, bratty foes.
Deeper the secrets, colder the lies,
Is Cooper’s Cove in danger?
Emmy must solve it—or someone else dies!
Northwoods #3
Winter has wrapped the Wisconsin Northwoods in a bitter chill, and Emmy Cooper's family lake cottage resort, Cooper’s Cove, is no exception. But it's someone from Emmy's past who's about to bring the real frostbite!
A stormy mix-up at a local hotel reroutes an unwanted group of guests to Cooper’s Cove Resort, including Emmy's former boss and the reason Emmy slunk home with her tail between her legs, Gwenda Caperwell. As if being face-to-face with an old grudge wasn't bad enough, a fierce blizzard picks that moment to strike, leaving Emmy snowed in with her least favorite person on earth. But things go from bad to downright chilling when Gwenda suddenly turns up dead—colder than the January air—and Emmy's snowed in with a corpse!
With the roads impassable and the safety of the other guests at stake, the local law enforcement had no choice but to rely on Emmy and her parents to help solve the mystery and catch the real killer, much to the dismay of Emmy's love interest, Officer Dean Erickson. But it quickly becomes clear that plenty of the other guests snowed in at Cooper’s Cove had a reason to want the Gwenda dead. Battling through drifts of secrets and lies, Emmy must navigate the frosty web of suspicion to uncover the murderer—before the next victim is iced!

Annie McEwen is the author of the Northwoods Mysteries Series, set amongst the tall pines and sparkling lakes of northern Wisconsin where she spent vacations as a kid. Because of a sweet love story between her youngest sister and a local Wisconsin boy (storyline idea!), she’s still been able to keep on visiting the beautiful place that means so much to her.
Annie and her husband are empty nesters—their son is married to his high-school sweetheart, and their daughter is married with two adorable toddler boys. Being grandparents is definitely the best gig ever! They also have four fur babies.
When Annie isn’t writing or playing with her grandsons, she works as a radiological technologist, aka, she takes pictures of bones...you can’t hide much from her! Writing, though, is her first love.
