A Fast-Paced Mystery!

Follow the antics of Paisley and Ellie as they solve the murder of a cantankerous client at a picturesque Grand Teton mountain resort. Plucky sleuths and suspicious characters abound in this lively investigation. An action-packed twisty ending brings the mystery to a satisfying conclusion. A fine start to Audree’s Fit Girls series!

Paisley is a fitness trainer

Paisley accepts a three month contract to run the fitness center at a high end resort in the Tetons only to find herself involved in hunting down a murderer. A different kind of heroine.

Great cozy.

I read the third book in this series and liked it so much that I bought this one. I really enjoyed the story and the quirky characters. It was a fast-paced story. I read it in one session.

Short and sweet

I love cozies that have a complete beginning, middle, and end, and just over 100 pages. Paisley and Ellie make quite the pair in dwelving in deep to solve the case. I was quite surprised at the reveal!

I didn’t really like that the story started off with the girls already running from a killer. That was like starting off in the middle of a story. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t get any clearer after that. I didn’t like this at all.
