If you have ever attended a writers conference you will immediately identify with the characters in this fun read. Pity the people trapped in a
hotel with a Colorado blizzard blowing snow in faster than it can be removed from the roads.
Its annoying to everyone, especially Arthur Upton, president of the Colorado
Fiction Writers Association, to find the blizzard has caused delays all around and prevented some speakers from attending. Moreover, he is highly irritated to learn an agent he detests is taking the place of one in a panel and for agents appointments with hopeful writers.
Once the conference gets under way, rumor starts that a dummy has been set up as a body in one of the rooms for a mystery contest. Arthur knows no contest is planned and checks on the dummy. He is shocked to find a body instead and the body is dressed in clothes belonging to members of the
group.
Since no police can get to the scene, one of the speakers, a local policeman must take charge of the investigation and do his best. Arthur tries to
help, but learns he is also one of the suspects as the investigation gets underway.
This well told tale takes you into the inner workings of a conference and behind the scenes of a murder investigation with lots of clues, red herrings, and tension. This is one story that makes the reader feel
like they're part of it.
You'll be looking over your shoulder to see if the
killer is sneaking up on you as you hurry down deserted hotel hallways to your room or try to locate the next session you want to attend. An exciting and suspenseful time is had by all.
I'm pleased to recommend this to any mystery fan as well worth the time and a very satisfying read. The convention is like no other you'll ever attend yet is like those you have attended.
Enjoy. I sure did.
