About this item
A snow globe becomes a murder weapon in the latest cozy mystery from the national bestselling author of Snow Way Out and The Iced Princess.Mayor Lewis Frost has always been known as Frosty to his friends - not that he has many these days. Controversies swirling around the city council have members wondering if Frosty is trying to snow them. After one councilman storms off in a huff, the mayor turns to curio shop manager Camryn Brooks and asks her to consider taking a seat on the council. Later, when Cami goes to his office to discuss the proposal, her blood runs cold. She finds Frosty dead, and the very snow globe she sold him earlier that day lies in sparkling shards on his carpet - along with a large diamond. Does the snow globe - which features a peculiar tableau of an armed man and three menacing bears - hold a clue to Frosty's demise? One way or another, it's up to Cami to shake things up before the killer's trail goes cold.
