Meg makes the bad decision to go outside and nearly gets lost in the storm . When she finds Ben's body, the whole group focus changes. Clint, the oldest of the Ridge Rangers is determined to keep things going.

As tensions mount, Meg will put herself into danger as she seeks to identify the killer.

SLAYED ON THE SLOPES is the second book by Ms. Dyer- Seeley that features Meg Reed, the bumbling yet intrepid reporter. It's impossible not to laugh as you read about the misadventures of Meg. Someone who is hopeless at the events she covers but who plugs along doing her best to fit in. I'm really enjoying this series and look forward to the next entry.
