Mallory Marlowe's latest assignment for The Good
Life magazine takes her to the Colorado get-away town
of Aspen. While checking out all the local spots for her
travel article on things to do for the non-skier, she works
in a visit with a former high school classmate. Carly
Cassidy Berman runs a spa in Aspen that Mallory plans to
include in the magazine, but her main claim to fame is a
fountain of youth drink aptly named Rejuva-Juice.
Carly greets Mallory like a long-lost friend, something
they were not in high school, and brings Mallory into her
small circle of people worth knowing on the spa circuit.
Mallory gets a lot of information for her article; she has
even more to write about when Carly turns up in the spa's
mud bath -- dead.
Mallory is determined to discover the identity of the
murderer. But the murderer is just as determined to remain
anonymous, and is willing to do just about anything to keep
the secret, including kill an annoyingly curious travel
writer. And if dealing with a murderer isn't enough,
Mallory has two handsome men expressing more than a little
bit of interest in her! Her romantic life hasn't been this
busy since high school!
TOO RICH AND TOO DEAD by Cynthia Baxter serves up an
intriguing cast of suspects in the latest Murder Packs a
Suitcase mystery. Mallory Marlowe is a likable amateur
sleuth, smart and savvy, coping with day-to-day living
after the death of her husband and raising two older
children while getting back into the working world. The
mystery is cleverly plotted and the resolution
unpredictable, keeping the reader guessing until the killer
pulls a gun on Mallory. The wonderful descriptions and the
magazine write-up at the end of the book will leave you
ready to pack your bags for Aspen...just be sure to take this
book with you!

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!
