Elise Pepper has had her share of bad dates, but she’s never had a dead body crash one before. Mr. Hamilton, the renowned Ice-man, purveyor of shady mortgages does just that when Elise finds him dead at the ice-rink. The scene of the crime is no coincidence, either. The Ice-man meets an icy end. And a freak power outage is only impeding the police.When Elise’s coworker, Sue, begs for help, Elise … help, Elise is surprised to discover Sue was related to the man. And her family is fighting over his will and the appearance of an illegitimate son. It doesn’t take long to discover everyone in town had reason to benefit from the banker’s death.
When even the king and queen of the local high school’s Winter Ball come under suspicion, Elise wonders if they’ll ever find out who did it.
This may be the first case where the killer walks away.

Story was confusing. Hard to follow. Characters not defined enough.
I love cozy mystetied
Enjoyable and easy reading. Good story line, kept the reader guessing.
It was a good vacation book. Easy to keep up with the characters. Nice cozy mystery.
This author never, never disappoints. In fact, I’d say this one is even better than the last. It is very helpful with this series to read earlier books before reading the later ones. Otherwise, the characters can be overwhelming.
Like the series
I enjoyed the way the characters weren’t perfect but most of them tried to be kind and understanding. The main character was strong but able to receive help in a graceful way.
A very fast read. It is a good storyline, however, not much character building. I would have liked to get to know the lead characters much more. Maybe the author could have added another 50 pages or so for character building. All of a sudden our lead figured out the entire plot, murder and everything with one single clue and just a few pages instead of building up to this finale more especially when the entire police force couldn’t get it. It was a little hard to believe….
fun, fast read
Great book!! Enjoyed reading it!!
Good mystery. With a romantic twist
Enjoyable easy read
Easy read
Clever cozy whodunit. I’ll read more in this series.
Didn’t like too slow
This was looking at a mystery from a different angle. I found it to be an entertaining easy read.
Kept me interested, wanted to continue reading.
This is a lite hearted mystery that doesn’t give it up until the end. With a sweet little romance going on at the same time
Was a good read.
I liked this book very much. In face, I am reading the entire series.
