Things are heating up...
Sadie Moose is enjoying a romantic evening in a snowy moonlit hot spring with her new boyfriend when a dead body floating in the pool interrupts their steamy interlude.
Yes. Another dead body. But she is absolutely not getting involved this time. She has enough to do with a business expansion underway, her new renters, and her new relationship.
Except the chief suspect is the troubled grandson of one of the regulars at her bakery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She promises she'll ask some questions to keep him out of jail. And then her new barista is a neighbor of the deceased, and she's having a hard time sleeping thinking someone in her tight-knit neighborhood is a murderer. So Sadie asks a few more questions.
Soon, she's embroiled in the investigation, with danger lurking around every snowy corner. With help from her sexy boyfriend, rowdy bakery crew, a maybe-mob-princess, and her trusty canine companion, Tyrone, Sadie must clear the mist surrounding this mystery, before the killer boils her, too.
Hot Springs Murder is a steamy, snowy, not-so-cozy mystery, with an open door scene and explicit language. This is the second book in the Jackson Hole Moose's Bakery Not No Cozy Mystery Series. The books stand alone, but are better when read in order. While there are romantic elements, there isn't an HEA in this book...though there will be eventually over the course of the series.
