Cool down in Texas heat with...

Ever thought about reading a "winter" mystery during the hot, hot blaze of a Texas summer? Well, I didn't until M. brought a new book to my attention. It's a novel idea, don't you think? What better way to cool down then to think SNOW. Like the old movie, Holiday Inn, I'm singing off-key in my head "snow, snow, snow..." but I'm not getting any cooler.

In the fifth installment of the Emma Fielding series the archaeologist-turned-sleuth (isn't that an interesting career shift?) finds herself knee deep in snow and trouble during an archaeological conference when her esteemed colleague. Professor Garrison, is found dead on the iced-over lake at the New Hampshire hotel. Did she kill off her boss or did someone else have a grudge against her peer?

You'll have to read MORE BITTER THAN DEATH to find out.
