About Deadly Descent at Whiteridge: A Paws and Powder Mystery
When events coordinator Maggie Monroe lands the job of hosting celebrity influencer Victoria Drake's exclusive night ski at Whiteridge Resort, she expects nothing more challenging than managing champagne temperatures and perfect lighting. But when Victoria is found dead at the base of Diamond Run the next morning, what looked like a tragic skiing accident becomes something far more sinister. With the resort's reputation on the line and her overly curious Siberian Husky Aurora uncovering clues everyone else misses, Maggie finds herself caught between a panicking management team and a police investigation that reveals Victoria's glamorous life concealed dangerous secrets. The influencer had been planning to expose financial crimes that could destroy careers and send someone to prison, and now Maggie must figure out who wanted to silence her permanently. As Maggie digs deeper into Victoria's final hours, suspects emerge from every corner of the picturesque mountain town of Frostwood. From Victoria's controlling brother who managed her empire and stood to lose everything, to the exhausted assistant who endured years of mistreatment, to the ex-boyfriend left bankrupt by Victoria's broken promises, everyone had motive and opportunity. With Aurora's remarkable instincts leading them to hidden evidence and Maggie's insider knowledge of resort operations, the unlikely duo begins piecing together a carefully staged murder that someone desperately wants to keep buried. But when threatening notes and a near-fatal attack make it clear the killer will stop at nothing, Maggie realizes she's not just solving a case—she's fighting for her own survival.
