Christmas time’s a comin’ and Emily is in the holiday spirit. To set the mood, she and Brent go skiing and just as they wrap up, Brent gets a call for a tour bus that ran off the road. With first aid training, Emily joins him at the scene to triage as they wait for EMTs to arrive. With just one passenger having a broken arm and the driver unconscious, the passengers make it clear the driver was drinking and are not happy about being stuck in tow with ,Ocala taking them into their homes.

The next morning the driver is found dead under a snow sculpture and there are quite a few suspects, including some locals and the woman that is staying with Emily. Hoping to get on with the holidays, yet promising to clear her houseguest’s name, Emily can’t help but ask questions and seek out answers. She just has to hope she doesn’t get on the killer is naughty list or she could get plowed under the snow a blizzard left behind.

I can’t believe this is the sixth entry in this series already! I’ve enjoyed each and every one of them, but this one is my favorite to date. I find myself rooting for the couples, trying to follow the clues and avoid red herrings, and devouring each book as soon as I am able to and always crave my next visit to Deputy Donut!

I love this series! If you haven’t read the first 5, you should before this one so you get the full impact of events that happen to characters. The whole series has characters that are well developed and mysteries full of twists and turns with red herrings thrown in. This is one you shouldn’t miss as the books get better and better!
